GALLERY: Ireland Figaro Rally May 2026, Kildare
On Valentine’s Day, love was in the air—and so were the dazzling smiles of the iconic Nissan Figaro, as this vintage darling turned 35 at a special celebration in McAuley Place.
Aptly rolled out on this day in 1991, exactly 20,000 of these charming cars were made—yet, 250,000 dreamers vied for them in a global lottery.
Today, fewer than 5,000 remain in the world—an exquisite rarity that never fails to bring a smile.
Our day was a resounding success—thanks to Mark, Sonia, Olive, and Rose for their generosity, we parked four sparkling Figaros in the heart of McAuley Place, capturing countless photos before we cozied up for afternoon tea.
This Irish chapter event is just the beginning—stay tuned for our global extravaganza, as Figaros from all corners of the world meet up in Ireland!
From May 18th to 22nd, we’ll cruise from the Clanard Hotel to Glendalough, Newbridge Silverware, the Japanese Gardens, and Kilkenny Castle.
So, if you’re in the area, give us a wave—these pastel beauties can’t wait to charm you!
