The Nissan Figaro was a limited release, one year only retro-styled JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) never sold in the US. I imported this fine example (one of the last 100 made) in December of 2018. There are maybe a few thousand left on the road worldwide. Enjoy my Figgy Tales!
A distant friend comes for a visit. Ah, patience, grasshopper!
A friend that I have never met comes all the way from Japan for an extended stay. Good times!

Figgy production numbers and colours. Why so many Topaz Mist haters?
I talk about Nissan Figaro colours. See that? Yeah, big UK influence. The Brits got these cars ten years before the US. Stupid import laws.

How did I come to own a Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) car?
I stumble across a random JDM van in Bozeman, Montana. A couple of years later I have a rare and very special Nissan Figaro parked in the garage.
Did you know the Figaro has three siblings? Welcome to the Pike Factory.
The Figaro was not a concept car thought of in a bubble. It has some brothers and sisters. It took a LOT of factors to bring these cars and the Avant Garde Pike Factory to life.
Collector? Restored? US Serviceman in Japan? What plate does the Figaro sport?
There is nothing better than paying a one time fee and NEVER EVER paying annual car tabs again!
The Nissan Figaro – Origin Story. Cuter than a basket full of puppies? You judge.
In 1991 Nissan made for one model year only the Figaro. Commonly called cuter than a basket full of puppies.
