The Nissan Figaro

Eric Clapton has one of these. A rock & roll legend with wealth beyond imagine went totally out of his way to aquire this. It's a really cool car still. Only 20,000 of them were made - quite a collectors item. Put that rag-top and rear window down, slip back into the white leather and experience your own retro-deco-domo Kesuke Miyagi bliss. Three point seatbelts for all passengers, fire resistant materials, and side door beams will help you not get creamed.

Features:

  • Semi-convertible with leather
    It's like an overachieving sunroof. It and the back window fold into the trunk.
  • 1000cc Turbo 4-cylinder
    Power when you need it, ready for a long windy highway.
  • Automatic transmission
    You'll be too busy waving at the staring pedestrians to bother with a stick.
  • Right-Hand Drive
    "Isn't this the car from Roger Rabbit?" You are bound to hear it.
