In this month’s case study, we are delighted to feature a Figaro commissioned by a huge fan of the pop star Prince.
Mary contacted us a few months ago and we were delighted to find an individually sourced import from Japan; a Figgy in excellent condition with only 43,000 miles on the clock. As with all of these projects, we stripped it down to ensure that it was in great condition mechanically as well as sartorially!
We presented a plethora of different purples from our extensive colour maps and Mary picked her favourite metallic shade for the respray. We carried this theme through to the headrests and the door cards, which are also purple.
To highlight the beautiful Italian ivory hand stitched leather, Mary chose a redder tone of purple! We’re sure you’ll agree it looks fantastic!
“I’ve been a Prince fan for 20 years and just adore the colour purple,” says Mary. “It may sound a bit crazy but I’ve always wanted a purple car and the thrill of being able to create my own Figgy from scratch and to be involved in all of the decisions was great. Toby and his team were really helpful and I love the result – it certainly turns heads!”
I guess we are lucky Mary didn’t choose a “Little Red Corvette”! (Okay, no more bad Prince puns!)
