1991 Nissan Figaro Convertible Coupe which was made available in four different colors only - one for each season. This car is finished in Topaz Mist (Fall) and is complemented by a very nice White Leather interior and Alloy Wheels. This car has just about 79,000 miles on it - the odometer is in kilometers - and she runs and drives great.
The Figaro is notable for predating retro-styled cars from Volkswagen, Ford, Mini, and Chevrolet. Debuting at the 28th Tokyo Motor Show in 1989, under the theme “Back to the Future,” the Figaro joined the Austin Mini-like Nissan Pao, the pun-intended S-Cargo van, and the period-styled micro Nissan Be-1.

Figaros were delivered, using a lottery system, in three allotments: an initial 8000 units, followed by two batches of 6000 cars later in 1991.
What buyers received was a two-seat convertible coupe built on the Nissan Micra K10 platform, a banal economy car never sold in the U.S., but offered in Canada.

Notably, the Figaro's front fenders are made of a thermoplastic resin to save weight and resist corrosion. It comes in four colors, one for each of the four seasons:
