A WOMAN has landed her dream car and given a charity a cash boost.
Emma Frew, 27, of Ashbrooke, Sunderland, paid £3,900 for a 1970 American specification E-type Jaguar in a Tyneside auction.
Emma, who has always wanted a Jag, bid in person at the sale organised by Anderson and Garland, beating telephone bidders from across the country.
Money from the sale will go to the Newcastle charity City Church to whom the car was donated by an anonymous businessman.
The non-denominational charity, which aims to promote the Christian faith, will put the money towards a new auditorium and community facilities. The auctioneers had valued the vehicle at £2,500.
