Dawlish Warren set to host annual Figaro Owners Club Rally

Classic car enthusiasts can see the annual Figaro Owners Club rally when it comes to Dawlish Warren this spring, a great destination for a mini-moon in the region, or a staycation.

The Devon Figaro Rally 2024 has attracted 40 Figaro owners from as far afield as Germany, Luxemburg and Holland who are coming to stay at the Langstone Cliff Hotel from 22nd – 26th of April.

The three days of convoy driving will take in Teignmouth, Torquay, Paignton, Stoke Fleming, Kingsbridge, Salcombe, Exmouth, Budleigh Salterton, Otterton, Sidmouth, Honiton, Postbridge, Tavistock, Ashburton, Chudleigh Knighton and Kingsteignton.

The Figaro Owners Club members hope Devon residents and visitors alike will enjoy the spectacle as the pastel procession makes its way around the county. Club founder Kevin Fagan explains, "We're used to people stopping to wave and smile when they see our rallies as they are so colourful and I'm hoping that we will get a real Devon welcome here with lots of waving as we pass through the pretty villages".

Only 20,000 Figaro's were ever manufactured, back in 1991. Made by Nissan, only in Japan, there was such a demand for them that a lottery was held and only those with winning tickets could purchase the cars which were the first to have a CD player as standard and were luxuriously equipped with leather seats, air conditioning, a folding roof and bags of style, in line with their branding theme of 'Back to the Future'.
