Insurance Valuation Certificate (2 year)

To guarantee that your Figaro is properly insured it is important to get it valued. This will not only ensure that you are completely covered should the worst happen, it could also save you money in the process. As the Official Nissan Figaro Owners Club, we are authorised by Insurance Companies to provide a TWO-YEAR INSURANCE VALUATION CERTIFICATE for your Nissan Figaro.

Obtaining a valuation can be time-consuming so we tried to make the process as simple and straightforward as possible.

BUYING A FIGARO?
If you are buying a Figaro make sure you include a copy of the bill of sale or invoice from the seller in addition to the pictures requested (see below).

Note: Please be realistic about your valuation. The figure we agree will be the current market value and unfortunately cannot take into account the cost of restoration or any sentimental value. If you have recently purchased the vehicle, the purchase price will be the agreed value. Though it is human nature to over-value our possessions, we hope that you will provide a fair assessment of the value which will then be compared to current market publications to ensure accuracy and fairness.

Vehicle Condition

In order to simplify the process of describing the condition of your vehicle, we have provided 5 options to select on the form below.

  • CONCOURS
    Perfectly restored or immaculately preserved in its original condition (no custom paint) with no further work necessary. This would include the engine bay that would look like it did when the car was produced. Very few cars ever reach this level.
  • A1 CONDITION
    Genuinely excellent, in total original or restored condition and with real potential, pending slight improvements, to reach the level ‘Concours’.
  • GOOD CONDITION
    Regular quality but without the potential to be ‘Concours’ standard. Free from any significant faults though lacking history and/or originality.
  • STANDARD QUALITY
    Reliable and holding a current MOT Certificate but would benefit from some attention
  • DRIVABLE
    Usable but in need of major work

Odometer Reading – IMPORTANT!

The Figaro was manufactured in Japan where Kilometers are the unit of measurement. As the car was never officially exported by Nissan (grey import) if it is driven in the UK it will require a modification to comply with local driving laws. 

WHAT IS THE MODIFICATION?
There are two types of modifications used to ensure the car is legal to drive on UK roads

CARD FITTED TO SPEEDO
The fitting of a small card into the Speedo dial allows the needle to display Miles Per hour. This is by far the cheapest and most common solution and can be achieved by purchasing the card. If you have a card fitted it means your odometer is still in km so insert this number into the CARD FITTED on the form below.

MPH STICKER APPLIED TO SPEEDO
If you have an MPH Sticker on your Speedo it means you have a Transducer fitted. We believe this was a solution before the Card above used was created. The device is usually fitted by a garage as it’s more complicated to install.  It works just like a bicycle gearing system, basically slowing down the rotation to make the Kilometers show in Miles. It means that the odometer reading is now shown as miles.

To calculate the actual odometer reading in miles you will need to know the km reading before the transducer was fitted. You need to convert this number to miles then add it to the reading since the fitting and insert this figure into MPH STICKER below. Read more

    THE ODOMETER (CARD INSERTED IN SPEEDO) This will be in kms so insert the reading below.
    THE ODOMETER (MPH STICKER IN SPEEDO) This will be in Miles, so insert the figure below. Note: A MPH sticker in your speedo means the car has had a transducer fitted.
