Pao? ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ![](http://www.geocities.com/richardirl/pao.jpg) D That's the ticket! Now if they did one with a manual box and a decent engine I'd have one like a shot. Nick Pao's do come with manual boxes, they are rarer, and the 1.3 out of a K10 Micra is a bolt in swap. In fact, if you got an auto and a scrap K10 1.3, you can do the transplant yourself in less than a day.

I've never seen a modified one but according to an owner they hold their value well and are reliable. I saw one in Scumdee recently, painted dark blue with a light grey roof, slammed and running flat faced splits similar to centrelines. Looked rather good. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

At risk of questioning my gender/sexuality, I think Figaros are pretty cool looking little cars ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

I'm feeling the Figaro love, isnt there a black one with pinstriping about?.. or am I imagining it? My gf had Figaro longings, until I spotted a Pao at the local dry-ski slope- she wants one big time now- they too fetch 3.5k upwards. Think they only made 10,000 Pao, and yeah manuals were made but are super rare. Snapped this at the Trinity Park Nats last year: ![](http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o93/Aux90/Trinity%20Park%20Nats%2007/TrinityParkNats07046.jpg) ![](http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o93/Aux90/Trinity%20Park%20Nats%2007/TrinityParkNats07047.jpg) edit: Just found this too.. looks fine to me.. ![](http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k289/figaros4sale/black%20figaro/DSC_0123.jpg)
