A SURREY car buyer got an extra special birthday treat last week when an Olympic champion handed her the keys to her new Nissan Juke.
Kitchen designer Sonia Aboussad of Woking visited Bishops Nissan, on Walnut Tree Close, Guildford, to collect her new car — and found Rio 2016 rowing gold medallist George Nash also there.
The star athlete and Nissan brand ambassador, who won gold as part of Team GB’s men’s four, was at the dealership to be given a stunning limited edition all-gold 100% electric Nissan LEAF in recognition of his success.
And afterwards George was only too happy to present Sonia with her new vehicle.
A delighted Sonia beamed: “I couldn’t believe it. You don’t expect a handover like this when you buy a new car.
“It’s my birthday soon and this was an extra special present.”
Sue Taylor, Dealer Principal at Bishops Nissan, said: “When we knew Sonia was going to collect her car when George was here we had to ask him to do the handover. It was lovely.”
