This pic was on the news section of my homepage. It was a car for sell on Ebay and apparently a 3 year old happened to push all the right buttons for a 'buy now' purchase. The owner did not force the sell, but rather thought it all funny as did the child's mother. It must be a British car and our fellow members of knowledge should be able to clue us in on what it is.

Hi Ron, Great story, yes amazing what kids can and will do. Neat little cars, pink is not quite my favourite colour but I'd drive the green one.

I once accidently entered 1250 for a bid instead of 12.50. If I hadn't retracted it, I'm sure I would have won.

John, That is indeed the story I saw, although a much shorter version. So, it is a Nissan, huh...!! What vintage? ? Ron Head Kalamazoo, MI

It's really a rebodied Micra made in small numbers to enhance "collectability" rather like those items the Franklin Mint produces! This is probably the best guide to the history of the Figaro: www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A3054601I tend to agree with Quentin: "There are those who believe cars like the Nissan Figaro are cute and trendy. They're not. The Figaro is a suburban Noddymobile - Quentin Willson, 2003." Not really my "cup of tea" Paul

Paul,
Glad to see you back...seems like it has been awhile. Sure do hope not due to ill health!!!
When you mentioned Figaro, I thought of the opera. But it is the Nissan Figaro. Never heard of it, although well acquainted with Nissan.
