A hampshire woman has driven off in a brand new Ford Fiesta after winning a competition with a motor dealership.

Hampshire Hendy customer Alicia Cooper won the car in the firm's Big Fiesta Giveaway run on its Facebook page.

“I just couldn’t believe it when I won,” said a delighted Alicia who collected her new car from Hendy Ford in Southampton. “I’m so excited to have a brand new car.”

Alicia, who lives in Pennington, near Lymington said the car would replace her existing Ford Ka and provide more space for school runs, driving to work and enjoying their free time.

“I just entered the competition and thought nothing of it, so to win is just amazing,” she said. “Now I have this amazing car which I can’t wait to drive.”

Hendy commercial director Mark Busby said the competition had been a great success and really highlighted the benefits of the new car. “We are thrilled to be able to give away such an amazing prize and wish Alicia and her family many thousands of happy miles in the car.”
