Hobby Japan is issuing a very unique car in scale, the 1:18 Nissan Figaro.  Four colours are going into production, they include Emerald, Pearl Aqua, Topaz Mist, and  Layer Gray.  Street date is scheduled for November 2018.   This one doesn’t come cheap, suggested retail $268CND.

About the Nissan Figaro…  “The Figaro was introduced at the 1989 Tokyo Motor Show under the slogan “Back to the Future”. The name references the title character in the play The Marriage of Figaro by Pierre Beaumarchais.  Based on the Nissan Micra, the Figaro was built at Aichi Machine Industry, a special projects group which Nissan would later call “Pike Factory,” which also produced three other niche automobiles: the Be-1, Pao, and S-Cargo.

As a fixed-profile convertible, the upper side elements of the Figaro’s bodywork remain fixed, while its fabric soft top retracts to provide a less fully open experience than a typical convertible. The fixed-profile concept is seen on other convertibles, including the Citroën 2CV (1948–1990), the Nash Rambler Convertible “Landau” Coupe (1950), and the 1957 Fiat 500 — as well its 2007 Fiat 500 successor.”
