For sale, my wife's much-loved Figaro, affectionately known as 'Audrey'. She has owned her for nearly five years and has enjoyed every minute but a busy life means she's just not driving her enough.
Being Topaz Mist, it's the rarest of the four original Nissan colours and it's lovely and shiny as it was professionally repainted less than a year ago.
My wife has spent a lot of money since she's had Audrey, much of it with Toby at The Figaro Shop in Didcot. Bills totaling over £8000 show works such as:
Full respray
Scorpion Thatcham Cat 1 alarm/immobiliser fitted
Servicing
New radiator
Full Waxoyl on underside
New timing belt and water pump at 63,000 miles
New convertible roof
New Clarion stereo with Tuner/CD/USB/iPod and uprated speakers
Audrey drives very nicely for a 26-year-old car and stops, steers and keeps up with modern traffic with no problem. A new battery was fitted just a few weeks ago too.
She's been a rolling restoration project, slowly ticking off the jobs each year. She's not perfect yet but is well on her way compared to how she was when my wife first bought her. Other main jobs that will need doing in due course are dealing with some corrosion in the top boot drainage lip, some chrome work on the bumpers and a renovation of the interior such as seats and dash top.
Bad bits:
Some rust on the top boot drainage channel will need attention in due course
Interior needs work to make it perfect
Some corrosion on bumpers end caps
These cars are appreciating in value fast now. Mint ones are hitting in the region of £25,000.
She's a lovely car, full of character that gets lots of attention wherever she goes. She'll be sorely missed when she goes but we know the new owner will love her too.
Please feel free to call me on 07850 379761 with any questions or to arrange a viewing.
