As car enthusiasts at heart, whilst we enjoy our core business of selling people quality and affordable cars, we also like the weird and the wonderful, the classic and the almost classic car. With this in mind, the team always has a couple of projects on the go. This 1992 Nissan Figaro is just one of those cars we stumbled across, fell in love with it and decided to bring it back to it's former glory. According to the Figaro UK Owners club, just 3,336 remain on UK roads out of just 20,000 sold worldwide. Our Figaro is currently undergoing sympathetic restoration and will be finished with a fresh coat of paint, new chrome works, a new hood cover and some interior modernisation detailing, then will be supplied to it's new owner, fully serviced and with a 12mth advisory free MOT. Nissan introduced the Figaro at the 1989 Tokyo Motor Show, using "Back to the Future" as its marketing tagline. Based on the first-generation Nissan Micra, the Figaro was manufactured at Aichi Machine Industry, a special projects group which Nissan would later call "Pike Factory", which also produced three other niche vehicles: the Be-1, Pao, and S-Cargo. Based on the Nissan March platform, the Figaro uses a 1.0-liter (987 cc) turbocharged engine generating 76 PS (56 kW; 75 hp) and 78 lb⋅ft (106 N⋅m) of torque through a three--speed automatic transmission, front MacPherson struts, rear four-link coil spring suspension; rack and pinion steering, front ventilated disc and rear drum brakes. The Figaro can reach a top speed of 106 mph (170.59 km/h). Weight saving front fenders are thermoplastic resin.[5] Standard equipment included ivory leather seats with contrasting piping, air conditioning, CD player, chrome and Bakelite-style knobs, soft-feel paint on the dashboard top, chrome-trimmed speedometer with smaller inset gauges for fuel and engine temperature; and chrome-trimmed tachometer with inset clock.[5] Exterior paint color represented the four seasons: Topaz Mist (autumn), Emerald Green (spring), Pale Aqua (summer) and Lapis Grey (winter). At first, 8,000 Figaros were manufactured and then an additional 12,000 to meet demand. Prospective purchasers entered a lottery to acquire a Figaro. Limited edition cars came with passenger side baskets and cup holders. As a fixed-profile convertible, the upper side elements of the Figaro's bodywork remain fixed, while its fabric soft top retracts in conjunction with a solid panel with a defroster-equipped glass rear window — as seen in other notable fixed-profile convertibles, including the Vespa 400 (1957), Citroën 2CV (1948–1990), the Nash Rambler Convertible "Landau" Coupe (1950), and the 1957 Fiat 500 — as well its 2007 Fiat 500 successor. We believe once complete, our Figaro will attract a lot of attention at the 2021 Classic Car Season events, we hope it's next owner will enjoy it as much as we have.
