A Shropshire student got more than she bargained for when she visited this year’s Shrewsbury Flower Show.

Maya Kuhl, left, who is a student at Bristol University, has won a Kia Picanto car – despite the fact that she can’t yet drive!

She scooped the lucky prize in a raffle organised by Furrows of Shrewsbury, (the local Kia dealership), the Shrewsbury Flower Show committee, and Kia Motors UK.

“I just can’t believe that I’ve won the draw, and it’s a great incentive to start taking driving lessons as soon as I possibly can,” said Maya.

“The Picanto is such a lovely car, and just the right size for anyone learning to drive – I’m overwhelmed and so excited about taking to the road and making the most of this opportunity.”

Dave Farthing, group sales manager at Furrows, said: “We were delighted that Maya won the top prize, and she will now get the chance to enjoy everything the very latest Picanto has to offer.

“As part of her prize, Furrows will also provide the first annual service free of charge, and we’re looking forward to supporting Maya in her quest to learn to drive.”

Dave said the Kia Picanto may be small on the outside, but extremely spacious on the inside, and was the winner of “Which?” magazine’s Most Reliable Car Award.

“It has received great reviews for its high specification, its impressive safety features, and the fact that it comes with a CD and MP3 player, which has proved particularly popular with many of our customers.”
