My son in law saw this car parked at his parents’ golf club. Apparently of Japanese origin? What can you tell me about it? Rare? Valuable? Collectible? I have never heard of it. Thanks.
It’s a Pao
It’s a Nissan Pao. Made in the late 80s early 90s to resemble a car from the 50s. Cool and rare (especially in the US) but not particularly valuable
Yes! I understand that there's a large fan base in the UK.
Such a cool design... small yet captivating !
Nissan Figaro. The underpinnings of a Nissan Micro. Quite common in the UK at one time.
My daughter and her husband are moving from NYC to LA and he thought it would be a fun cruiser around town.
I saw a few around LA
But “fun cruiser” in LA requires roads that aren’t clogged with traffic. Not a great city for a slower pace. Forget it on the freeways. Nice that they are old enough to be brought in and registered. When I brought my old Renault into LA, I felt like I subjected the car to severe punishment. We both had to lick our wounds and wash off once back in Ventura.
Made a short thread about these some time ago…
It was the time from Nissan’s Pike factory and they came out with four modes, all based off the then current Micra / March: www.watchprosite.com
As for your other question, haven’t checked recently but they used to be around 10-15k GBP years ago 😊👍🏻
One more detail…
The Figaro you showcase was, IIRC, the first car with a factory integrated CD player in the dash 😁
