LUCKY John Phillips got an added extra when he took delivery of his new car - a £1,000 prize.
Mr Phillips, 63, from Darlington, gained the windfall in a promotion organised by Jennings Ford Direct, in Middlesbrough, on the day he collected his Ford Fiesta Freestyle.
"The cash couldn't have come at a better time with Christmas just around the corner," said Mr Phillips, who plans to spend the money on his two grandchildren and home improvements.
The presentation took place at Jennings Ford's Cargo Fleet Lane branch in Middlesbrough, where Nas Khan, sales director for the group, presented a cheque to Mr Phillips.
