The story of Richard and his Nissan Navara

How an impulse buy became a man’s best mate
The story of Richard and his Nissan Navara

For many people, a car is simply a means of traveling between places. For others it's statement of style or prosperity. For Richard Hoar, a 78-year-old wildlife photographer, it's his home. Over the decades, his Nissan Navara has become Richard's companion – a versatile and reliable vehicle that has accompanied him on his life journey.

This 23-year partnership story of Richard and his Nissan Navara covers 520,000 kilometers – and counting. It's a story of an ardent car lover, his caring ownership and of the Nissan legacy of making cars that stand the test of time.

The Nissan Navara was far from new when Richard bought it in 1996; it had 54,000 kilometers under its hood already. Newness, however, wasn't what mattered for Richard. "I was looking for a car that would be a reliable partner in my quest to capture the perfect wildlife shot. A car that is versatile and wouldn't let me down in the middle of nowhere," said Richard.

All it took him was a quick look under the hood and a test drive to make up his mind to buy it. Since then, he and his car traveled the vast country together. Speaking about his beloved Nissan Navara, Richard says: "Every time I turn the key she says, 'hello, let's GO!'"
