Interesting one! You could take the Lambo and the £45k so you could actually afford to run it! :D

Take the X3M and £70,000 Tax-Free or Take the Gallardo & £45,000 Tax-Free.
£115,000 Cash Alternative if choose to take neither of the two cars!

Fifty-five large instead though if you don't want the Bentley.
No one in their right mind would take an old money pit like that instead of £55k. The same experience could be had by taking the money, then buying a cheap Mondeo and driving along throwing £50 notes out of the window.

I'm quite obviously very judgemental and IMO driving a 13yr old second-hand Bentley is advertising to the world that you had high ambitions in life, but you just couldn't get there. You're probably a late 40's divorced IT middle manager that plays PC games, lives in a semi-detached in Corby and trawls the internet every night looking for a foreign mail order bride.
Perhaps the competition is bait, if you enter then government agents come around and smother you to put you out of your misery :lol:

Take the 55k, then rent a brand new one for a few months and realise its a daft idea.

Quilted shiny silver leather. Presumably they stole that from the business class section of a decommissioned airliner from 1998.

Mulliner stitching! But seems to have been adopted by a lot of campers, especially the VW T series.

It appears all their draws go ahead regardless and often with these comps the rally for tickets is in the last few hours, but I don't know for sure if they will draw it or not?
