Ex-pats' car search takes them to Chorley

News reaches us via the Blackpool Gazette of two British expats who travelled 1,400 miles from their home on Sardinia to pick up their new four-by-four from a dealership in Lancashire.

The purchase was sparked by an email following the couple’s near-fatal road accident on the Mediterranean island last year.

According to Richard Braithwaite, manager at the Chorley branch of Nissan: "A few months ago, Roger and Avril nearly lost their lives in a shocking accident back home in Sardinia.

"It took them a while to recover and they vowed that safety would be the priority when it came to choosing their next vehicle.

"Nissan managed to turn the order around in double quick time and Roger and Avril flew in to collect, spending a few days with family in Kendal en route."
