For Sale: 1992 Nissan Figaro in Christiansburg, Virginia

The 1991 Nissan Figaro is a front-engine, front-wheel-drive fixed-profile convertible originally manufactured exclusively for the Japanese Market. Produced for only a single model year, it was built by Nissan's special projects group---the "Pike Factory"---which specialized in creating limited-run, vintage-inspired vehicles. Its distinctive 1950s retro-modern aesthetic, combined with practical modern underpinnings, has earned it a global cult following.Designed under the theme "Tokyo Nouvelle Vague," the Figaro was heavily inspired by European microcars from the 1950s and 1960s.- The Body: It features a prominent chrome grille, round headlights, and a unique retractable soft-top fabric roof. Unlike a standard convertible, the side roof rails and rear pillars remain fixed in place when the top is down.- Seasonal Colors: Every factory vehicle was painted in one of four distinct colors, each representing a season:* Emerald Green (Spring)* Pale Aqua (Summer)* Topaz (Autumn)* Lapis Grey (Winter)- The Interior: The retro themes continue inside with ivory-colored leather seats, classic analog chrome-rimmed gauges, a thin three-spoke steering wheel, and custom Art Deco-style switches.Nissan originally planned a production run of just 8,000 units. However, consumer interest was so overwhelming that Nissan increased production to 20,073 units. To distribute the limited supply fairly, prospective buyers in Japan had to win a spot through a specialized lottery system.This low miles example has been a part of the Duncan Imports collections since 2018 and has recently been moved to retail sales.
