- Van and football fans get a chance to win six tickets to the UEFA Champions League final in Rome
- Test drive a Ford van in September and the Ultimate Road Trip is up for grabs
BRENTWOOD, 8 September, 2008 – Ford Commercial Vehicle dealers across the country will be entering all van test drive customers into a prize draw this month. The prize consists of six tickets to the UEFA Champions League Final in Rome next May.
The winners will spend one night in Milan before being chauffeured to Rome in a top-of-the-range Transit Tourneo. They will watch the final before flying back to the UK the following day. It truly is the ultimate road trip for a van driver and five mates. The draw can be entered between 8 and 30 September.
With five British teams in the knockout stages, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Celtic, there's a great chance that the winners will be watching a 'home' team in the final.
Steve Kimber, commercial vehicles director, Ford of Britain, said: "The new UEFA Champions League season began with last week's draw and we know that lots of our customers love football as much as their Transits. So, it's a natural match and the chance for a trip of a lifetime."
