Vehicle Description

The 1991 Nissan Figaro is a triumph of retro-futurist design, born from Nissan's legendary "Pike Factory" special projects division. Designed to evoke the romantic elegance of 1950s European microcars, the Figaro was built exclusively for the Japanese Domestic Market and limited to a single year of production. It is a boutique city car that captures hearts wherever it goes, offering an injection of pure joy and vintage charm without the mechanical headaches of a true mid-century classic. Today, it stands as a highly sought-after cult classic for collectors who appreciate automotive art. Beneath the delightfully nostalgic bodywork lies the proven, reliable engineering of a 1990s Nissan. Power comes from a peppy 1.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine mated to a smooth-shifting 3-speed automatic transmission. This lightweight, front-wheel-drive configuration makes it exceptionally nimble around town and an absolute pleasure to drive. It delivers a modern, turn-key experience, ensuring that your weekend cruises are spent on the road rather than in the garage. The example offered here is finished in Emerald Green—one of the four exclusive factory colors chosen to represent the four seasons, specifically denoting "Spring." The exterior presentation is described as near perfect, highlighting the careful preservation it has enjoyed under dedicated collector ownership. The iconic profile is crowned by a white retractable fabric top that remains in like-new condition, allowing you to easily roll back the roof for an open-air, fixed-profile convertible experience. Inside, the cabin is a beautifully executed continuation of the retro theme, featuring white upholstery, chrome toggle switches, and a distinctively vintage instrument cluster. The interior remains in great condition, showing only minor, expected wear on the driver's seat that is perfectly commensurate with its low 44,000 miles of use. To make modern cruising more enjoyable, a Bluetooth stereo has been thoughtfully added, blending seamless smartphone connectivity with the car's classic aesthetic. For market context, Hagerty currently places the valuation for a pristine #1 condition Figaro at $46,400, with an excellent #2 condition example valued at $30,700. Because this meticulously preserved, collector-owned example presents beautifully between a #1 and #2 condition, the asking price directly reflects its true market position and potential insured value through Hagerty. This is a rare, low-mileage piece of JDM history ready to charm its next caretaker.
