I doubt they even buy the cars up front, they will find one that couldn't sell, buy an option at a low price and if the winner selects the cash equivalent they rip up the option.
Otherwise they run they risk of being lumbered with unsellable cars, plus they would need all the money before tickets are sold.

I reckon the Honda E is the best looking small car on sale today!
I love the grey fabric inside, proper Japanese Like a Toyota Century.

I think the Homda is pretty cool. It's a modern version of the original 70's Civic shape.

Re: Online competitions for cars, bikes and tech goodies.
Just to be even more of a fun vacuum, are these lotteries regulated (Gambling Commission?) in any way? I mean, if they say they limit ticket sales to X, who's checking? Who can verify that Mr. J Smith who wins an £80k Audi did actually win it and not a stooge, and was it worth the stated £80k?
All aboard the Peckham Pigeon! All aboard!

The first thing you'd remove?

Re: Online competitions for cars, bikes and tech goodies.
The rope is 'decorative' because for some reason there was one on the vehicle in Spectre - anybody's guess why.
Q? Are they just steps bolted on under the doors or are they body protection skids? They knock a fair chunk off the clearance.

Re: Online competitions for cars, bikes and tech goodies.
I've looked at similar in the past and most were just cosmetic, they aren't really in the right position to work well as rock sliders. The only armour mentioned is a diff protector.Count Steer wrote: ↑Thu Jun 23, 2022 8:19 pm The rope is 'decorative' because for some reason there was one on the vehicle in Spectre - anybody's guess why.
