SUMMARY
A fine example of Nissan's characterful little Figaro with less than 1,500 miles since a full rebuild by RML for 'the boss' Ray Mallock.
DESCRIPTION
- Named after the title character of the Beumarchais comic opera and meeting a ‘retro’ trend then sweeping Japan, the Nissan Figaro is a front-engined, front-wheel drive, two-door 2+2 convertible featuring smooth 1950s-inspired bodywork.
- The Emerald Green example on offer here used to belong to Ray Mallock, legendary former racing driver, renowned automotive engineer and Chairman of RML
- Ray bought the car in 2012 and asked his team to strip and complete a ground-up rebuild of the Figaro to his exacting standards
- The current owner, the original Director of Jaguar Land Rover Heritage, bought the Figaro from our auction last year and has recently treated it to a light mechanical recommission
- The Figaro has been kept in heated storage during current and Ray’s former ownership
- Fresh MOT now valid until August, 2026. The odometer reading was 77,288km so it has only covered 622km (389 miles) since completion of the restoration in early 2013
- Probably one of the very best examples on the market today with many hours having been invested in the car by a world-respected engineering company and our knowledgeable vendor
