Just been idly flicking through the local rag and a dealer's selling a '91 Figaro ragtop with 5k on the clock
for £21,995. I had to check their website to make sure that it wasn't a typo, but no. Difficult to believe that such a woeful little car is going to fetch anything remotely near that figure, or am I missing something here?

It sounds like your dealer wants to keep it and at that price he will.
having had the displeasure of driving one once,if it were £2.19 I would still rather walk.
The hateful,poxy thing could not even manage to mount a 3 inch curved kerb,had the rigidity of a wet cardboard box and the same charm and allure as a chin full of acne.
hehe

I've not seen many of these nasty little PoS, but every one I have had the misfortune to spot has been as rusty as hell. I just don't get the attraction of driving such an underpowered and frankly lethal heap; I doubt you'd fare well in a coming together with anything else on the road, including push bikes, milk floats and almost any classic car you care to name. And they're not even 'cute'.
