At the prize giving ceremony outside Palace House, Mr Green was presented with the keys to his new car by The Hon. Ralph Montagu. A delighted Mr Green, who purchased just one ticket in the draw, said:” I live within a mile of the BMW factory where this Mini was built and worked in the factory on what was then the British Leyland production line, during the 80s, so winning this car is a double pleasure. ”
A popular Mini One, supplied by Scotthalls, Hampshire, was the star prize in this year’s National Motor Museum Trust Prize Draw and the lucky winner was Mr Neil Bailey, a former farmer from Charminster, Dorset. Mr Bailey, who currently drives a Land Rover Discovery, bought his winning ticket on a day visit to the Beaulieu attraction in February.
At the prize giving ceremony outside Palace House, Mr Bailey was presented with the keys to his new car by Lord Montagu. Mr Bailey said: ”I am cock-a-hoop to have won the Mini, now I won’t have to buy another car for a year or two.”
A unique red and black Caterham kit car was the star prize in this year’s National Motor Museum Trust prize draw and the lucky winner was Mrs Sue Moore from Knowle, near Bristol. Mrs Moore bought her winning ticket on a day visit to Beaulieu whilst enjoying a short break with her husband Barry at nearby Christchurch. Fortunately for Mrs Moore, she doesn’t have to build the car herself as that job has already been done for her by a team of five lady mechanics who were themselves the winners of a competition held at Beaulieu’s famous International Autojumble in 2005. Their task was to build the Caterham from scratch during the ten days of the Retromobile Classic Car show in Paris in 2006.
