NISSAN FIGARO

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at Silverstone Festival 2025 on Sunday the 24th of August, The Wing, Silverstone Circuit, NN12 8TN.

Named after the title character of the Beumarchais comic opera and meeting a ‘retro’ trend then sweeping Japan, the Nissan Figaro is a front-engined, front-wheel drive, two door 2+2 convertible featuring smooth 1950s-inspired bodywork. 

The Emerald Green example on offer here used to belong to Ray Mallock, legendary former racing driver, renowned automotive engineer and Chairman of RML

Ray bought the car in 2012 and asked his team to strip and complete a ground-up rebuild of the Figaro to his exacting standards

The current owner, the original Director of Jaguar Land Rover Heritage, bought the Figaro from our auction last year and has recently treated it to a light mechanical recommission

The Figaro has been kept in heated storage during current and Ray’s former ownership with just c1,500 miles since the RML work

Probably one of the very best examples on the market today with many hours having been invested in the car by a world-respected engineering company and our knowledgeable vendor
