I can only assume that it's because of the low km that this one is such a high $$ amount.
Way over priced for one of these otherwise.

Topaz Mist was the Beige colour. They originally made 8,000, and it was 2,000 of each colour.
Then they dropped Topaz Mist and produced another 12,073 divided between, Emerald Green, Pale Aqua,
and Lapis Grey. Which is why Topaz is the rarest colour. They dont look great in photos, but they do
look beautiful "in the flesh." Patricia has decided she is going to sell her Emerald Green, 55,000 mile Figaro.
So I'll tell her to put it on Fleabay. Lovely running wee car. Centre of attraction every time she drives it.

My take on the colors
original 4
emerald green - looks cool at first but then gimmicky, almost clown like
lapis grey - ok but quite bland , can look purple or blue sometimes
topaz mist - ok (kind of the beige one) lowest volume made
pale aqua - best suited for this car and the best
any other on a figaro , black, cherry red, pink, etc. terrible..cars should be taken away from anyone to ruin a figaro
numbers made
lapis grey 8,156
emerald green 5,632
pale aqua 3.989
topaz mist 2,279

I Suppose it's all a matter of taste regarding colour. (Malcolm has a nice Green Figaro in Orlando.)
Some colours are more traditional...like Almond Green on a Mini, and they just look....right.
Spotted a modern Nissan the other day and it was painted in same Green shade as a Figaro.
So Nissan obviously like that colour. If you are making a Commercial decision on colour alone then
it's a no brainer. More people, given a choice, will buy a Green Figaro rather than any other factory colour.
Topaz Mist didnt have same production run, so it's more rare.

Oh aye,another Figaro going to make stupic money....and it's that scabby Green colour that nobody likes. Hmmm.
What's the TOP price realised for ANY other colour on BaT? Why would anyone would buy Lapis Grey? I'd cut my wrists before buying one of those. Follow the money!!!
