Let's start with the new Nissan GT-R series.

Nissan introduced the Figaro at the 1989 Tokyo Motor Show, using "Back to the Future" as its marketing tagline. Based on the first-generation Nissan Micra, the Figaro was manufactured at Aichi Machine Industry, a special projects group that Nissan would later call "Pike Factory", which also produced three other niche vehicles: the Be-1, Pao, and S-Cargo. Aichi had originally built independent kei cars like the Cony 360 until Nissan assumed operations in 1966, and was also the original manufacturing location for the first generation Nissan Sunny.

Registered with the DVLA: 6 November 2006.
1.0-litre (987cc) 75 hp turbocharged inline 4 engine.
The Nissan Figaro was sold in 1991 only for the Japanese market. The combination of retro styling and Nissan Micra-based mechanicals have made them popular grey imports.
Four colours were available for each of the four seasons; this one is In Lapis Grey which represents winter.

Spotted this thing the very same day i spotted the North American Peugeot 505 and was parked here for around a week, i guess for the New Year's.
This came as quite a surprise to come across and i assume it's from South Africa (where the Langley model name exclusively appears to be) as it's RHD!
These were sold as the Pulsar NX in North America and if i'm not mistaken Pulsar EXA in Japan.
This thing was basically Nissan's idea of an everyman's sports car, quite practical but really didn't pack much 'sport' underneath. I'd say *nowadays* these are insanely rare but these weren't successful at all to begin with!
The following generation of NX was better received with a more competitive drivetrain, cool gradient rear lights and modular rear hatch options which allowed it to be turned into a coupé, cabriolet, targa, station wagon or none, all while maintaining affordability.

Another nice Figaro, i knew there were lots in Great Britain but didn't expect to see any during my stay, luckily for me this wasn't the case. This one as opposed to the last one i photographed has the typical nice Figaro hubcaps.

Probably the roughest S Cargo I've ever seen. Unsurprisingly this is carrying a good few rust related advisories; next year might be a difficult MOT. A parking spot right on the seafront probably isn't helping.
