The 2000 Nissan Figaro is a charming and highly collectible retro-styled convertible, blending 1950s-inspired design with late 20th-century Japanese engineering. It was originally introduced as part of the marque’s “Pike Factory” series of limited-production lifestyle vehicles, alongside similarly distinctive models such as the Nissan Pao. Originally produced in a strictly limited run of approximately 20,000 examples finished in four pastel shades representing the seasons. The Figaro was initially sold only in Japan however, its enduring popularity has led to widespread export, particularly to the UK, where it has become a cult classic among enthusiasts seeking a stylish and characterful alternative to more conventional small convertibles.
This 2000 registered example (when it was imported) represents one of the later imported cars, offering the appeal of this rare and whimsical model combined with usability for modern classic motoring. Mechanically, the Figaro is powered by a turbocharged 987cc inline four-cylinder engine, paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. It features elegant chrome detailing, round headlamps and a distinctive retractable white fabric roof, offering open-air driving with considerable visual appeal.
Its compact proportions are complemented by a thoughtfully designed interior, trimmed in white leather with body-coloured accents and period-inspired switchgear, creating a uniquely nostalgic driving environment. Despite its modest size, the inclusion of fuel injection and turbocharging provides sprightly performance suitable for urban and leisure driving, while maintaining ease of use and reliability. This example is in lovely condition throughout and comes with various invoices, a spare key, old MoT test certificates and a current MoT which expires in June 2026. Consigned by James Good
