exotica.
You need to buy a Hyundai i10 covered in turf with a football
on the roof!
One of the two Hyundai i10 football cars built to celebrate the
manufacturer’s association with the 2010 World Cup is up for sale, and
all proceeds are going to charity.
The 09-plate city car has been modified to become truly unique and
undeniably eye-catching.
Prospective buyers are any sports-related
business which needs an effective way of advertising or a really
committed football fan! |
Produced by car artist Andy Saunders – a hugely talented and
world-famous car modifier – the Hyundai i10 has ‘grass’ bodywork and
interior, a giant football on the roof and goal posts fixed to the
A-pillars.
The car also has had a ‘celebrity’ past. Before its conversion the i10
was one of two lent to Jeremy Clarkson for his 2009 DVD ‘Duel’.
Now its World Cup promotional duties are over, the i10 is being sold as
part of a charity challenge by Car Dealer Magazine.
All the money raised
will be handed to BEN (www.ben.org.uk), the automotive industry
charity, as a donation.
Bidding will start at just £1,995, although it’s hoped the final total
will be at least double this when the auction ends at midday on Tuesday,
10 August.
