The Pike Factory

Eric Clapton owned one and Andrew Marr was seen at the wheel of one in the opening credits of the BBC One programme "The Andrew Marr Show" so they must be sought after I suppose.
Sid Ozalid's wife Anna Banana has one as well but sadly it has recently suffered from some battery issues.
The Nissan Figaro was designed and built by a Nissan special projects group called the Pike Factory in 1991, only around 20 thousand models were ever produced. With marketing slogan's such as "Back to the Future" they seemingly became a kind of pre-retro Mini concept and came fully fitted with some seats, air conditioning, a retro look CD player and a roof.
They did lack airbags though, mirroring of course "The Barber of Seville" by Beaumarchais which was originally entitled "Le Barbier de Séville ou la Précaution inutile"
This particular model sits in a one way street in the shire and has seemingly not moved in many months.
You might be able to pick it up for a song.
