Like a fine single malt...!

Bernst · 15th April 2013, 22:14

Folks, not quite as gorgeous as my missus, but I'd like to introduce you to this beauty! For 10 years old she's got to be one of the finest examples around.

I bought her 2 weeks ago from Ziggy72 and hope to keep her in top condition; bodywork and alloys are spotless and the upgraded interior is refined and understated. My mate is a valeter - he's going to give her a good going over and apply some professional 'paint guard' for an enhanced showroom finish.

Yes she has some flaws but she's an exceptional example for her age - just like one or two other 10-year olds in my malt whisky collection

Took me ages to sort the pics out, so hope you agree!

Slainte!

Now to get the air con sorted... and no you can't have any pics of my missus

but I'll happily talk about malt

That looks lovely and very clean as it stands before your mate cleans it
Love the wheels also

I'm glad you're enjoying it and i miss it greatly. Its been machine polished and clay bar'd initially, then washed twice a week and coated with autoglym high definition wax every 4 weeks religiously when i had it so shouldn't need much to keep on top of. Its a better looking car than my new s-type diesel even though i prefer the jag as a car overall.

Cheers Tony, I can tell how much time and effort you spent on her. I'll do my best to keep her in shape - it's handy having a valeter in the family! The Nissan has been cleaned up and almost sold...

Tried the air con yesterday but doesn't seem to be working so will get a mobile out to take a look. If we get any summer will need some cold air with those leather seats!

Lovely looking car, can't agree about the Malt though, I must be odd because I hate the stuff

Sorry about that mate, I was looking at the facelift version myself before I spotted this beauty. Also had my eye on a silver 52 plate on Autotrader for less than £1500 - had only 58K on the clock!

Yours looks a peach

Thanks for the comments everyone!
