But why the recent boost in popularity?<\/p>\n<p>Originally released in 1991, the Nissan Figaro is growing ever more popular among retro car enthusiasts, sellers and collectors in the States due to it now being old enough to pass stringent US import regulations without requiring extensive modifications.<\/p>\n<p>A few years prior, regulations would have prevented many from importing a Figaro to the states due to the high costs involved in modifying the vehicle to comply with regulatory standards.<\/p>\n<p>Now that the Figaro is exempt from these regulations, US residents can pick them up fairly cheap in the UK to have them shipped back to their hometown &#8211; and the fact so few of them are on the road makes them a real head-turner in the States!<\/p>\n<p>Nissan only built 20,000 of these models, which is perhaps why they come fully kitted with leather seats, air conditioning, a CD player and a fixed-profile slide-back open roof <span class=\"citation\">[<a title=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nissan_Figaro\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nissan_Figaro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more info: Wikipedia<\/a>]<\/span>.
