Free World Cup semi-final tickets right up Lewin’s Alley!

Football fan Mr Lewin Alley of Cheshire has bagged a pair of World Cup semi-final tickets courtesy of Hyundai. Lewin won the tickets after he made a visit to Britain’s oldest-established Hyundai dealer, TWG Hyundai of Northwich, to test-drive the Tucson and new Santa Fe off-roaders.

Lewin was encouraged by dealer principal Brian Phillips to pick-up a World Cup ticket prize-draw form. He almost forgot to post it, and thought nothing more of the prize-draw until he received a call congratulating him on winning the tickets.

Lewin said: "I’m over the moon I’m going to the semi-final, and very grateful to Hyundai for making this possible. With England’s progress to date, I also have high hopes of seeing them in the semi-final match."

The Korean 4x4s particularly impressed Lewin – who currently drives a Honda Accord – so much so, in fact, that he’s looking to buy a new one for his wife, who will be joining him in Germany for the semi-final game.

"I’ve never won anything as big as this," says Lewin, "and I’m doubly glad I test-drove the Hyundai models."

Hyundai is an official FIFA World Cup Partner and tournament-vehicle supplier, providing more than 1000 vehicles as transport for FIFA officials and VIPs. The company has already signed a strategic sponsorship agreement with FIFA covering the 2010 and 2014 World Cups.
