Description from the seller
HIGHLIGHTS:
• Iconic and sought-after Nissan Pike Car produced in a limited run in 1991
• Convertible configuration with manual soft top and right-hand drive (RHD)
• Equipped with a 1.0-liter turbo engine and automatic transmission
• Running vehicle with a recently installed new battery
STORY/OVERVIEW:
Unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1989 and marketed in 1991, the Nissan Figaro is part of the famous series of “Pike cars” built at Nissan’s dedicated Pike Factory, distinguished by an unmistakable 1950s retro styling fused with modern Japanese reliability. Produced exclusively with right-hand drive (RHD) and featuring a sliding fabric roof, it houses a 987 cc turbo four-cylinder engine (MA10ET) paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission. The offered example, dating from the 1991 production year, was purchased years ago on the platform and has since remained stationary and unused for several years; there is no service history and only one key is available.
BODY/PAINT:
The bodywork shows signs and superficial scratches from prior use, with a noticeable scratch on the left rear fender and some rust spots on the body. The chrome finishes around the headlights and license plate housing need refinishing. The manual roof opening mechanism works regularly; the fabric top has been repaired with reinforcement patches.
INTERIOR:
The cabin remains generally in good condition for its age, showing signs of wear compatible with normal use. In terms of equipment and controls, the original radio is not functioning; the windshield seal is slightly delaminated and some auxiliary control switches are not operative.
MECHANICS:
The vehicle starts and runs smoothly and starts without problem. The automatic transmission operates normally and the braking system is efficient. A new battery has been installed, while the tires, though with adequate tread, are aged. Following the prolonged period of inactivity, the vehicle requires a general preventive maintenance intervention.
The car can be viewed and collected by appointment.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
