PARALYMPIC champion Tanni Grey-Thompson is revving up her training - thanks to Vauxhall.
The British motor manufacturer - which celebrates its centenary this year - handed over the keys to a new Zafira to Ms Grey-Thompson yesterday.
The athlete, from Redcar, plans to use the vehicle to transport her training equipment.
The seating arrangements will also come in handy for carrying her 15-month old daughter.
Wheelchair-bound Tanni, who is also a national ambassador for disabled athletics, received the car at the International Centre for Life, in Newcastle.
