Nissan Figaro.

The definition of Icon provided in the brief for this project allows a lot of latitude for the photographer, Iconic people places and as I have interpreted it objects. The slides are pictures of my wife's retro style car which is a real head turner, with day to day comments and questions made of its origins. It is in fact a 1991 Nissan Figaro these cars were only built in 1991 with 20,000 only made for the Japanese home market. So popular was the demand at the time that 50,000 people applied to buy one and therefore Nissan ran a raffle the first 20,000 names picked had the first chance of buying a car. The car has 1950s styling with white leather upholstery, and plenty of chrome and glass on the dashboard. - Patrick Duggan
