Famous Celebrity Owners
Jack Neal
Three-year-old Jack Neal loves cars: so much so, that while his mother''s back was turned he bought a Barbie-pink Nissan Figaro for nearly $16,000 on eBay....... "I had just come off the computer and I thought I had logged off, I came out of eBay," his mother Rachel told the BBC
"Jack jumped on the chair, (went) straight in, found the page and bought the car." Unable to read, the youngster likely used the "buy it now" option to make the purchase.
The first time the Neals, from Sleaford in eastern England, knew of the sale was when they received an e-mail from auto dealer David Jones, who thought he had made his first Internet sale.
Jones, from Worcestershire in central England, saw the funny side and said he will not hold the Neals to their purchase. The car will be re-listed later.
"I''ve got a 2 1/2-year-old son myself and I don''t think he would be able to do this, although he''s bright," he said.
Princess Eugenie
Princess Eugenie, who recently turned 17 on March 23, got a car as birthday gift from her mother. Her new car is a Nissan Figaro convertible. The retro look of the car has earned it a host of fans among younger drivers.

Nancy Sorrell
The model Nancy Sorrell says she has her husband, Jim Moir, the comedian Vic Reeves, to thank for her introduction to the Figaro.
"He came home one day and said he had seen this car that would really suit me," she says. "It was love at first sight! I think some people suspect that it is not as satisfying to drive as it is to look at, but it''s great.
Other reputed owners of the Nissan Figaro include - Eric Clapton, Frank Skinner, Athina Roussel & Vanessa Feltz
I am sure however that there are many more celebrities who suffer with the "Figaro Need" and will be coming out of the closet in times to come.
