A NEW Nissan driver won £1,000 after being entered into a prize draw.

Carol Penhaligan, of Winchhmore Hill, Enfield, was handed the cheque after buying a Juke from Glyn Hopkin Nissan in Waltham Abbey.

The garage is giving away £25,000 of prizes in 2018, to mark its 25 year anniversary.

Ms Penhaligan scooped the prize after her name was drawn at random from more than 1,100 customers who bought cars and vans from Glyn Hopkin during February.

Each month in 2018, anyone buying a new or used vehicle from the dealership will be entered automatically, and at the end of December, a brand-new car worth £13,000 will also be given away, with the winner drawn from anyone who purchased a vehicle during the year.

February's winner said: “My husband was in when we had the phone call from Glyn Hopkin, and he honestly thought it was a hoax.

"He got my son to ask more questions, and we soon realised it was all genuine. Our experience with sales advisor Ugur Bas was excellent, and winning this prize is just a wonderful surprise. It’s the icing on the cake.”
