Drive away with £100,000 with Abbey Mortgages

To celebrate Santander’s entry into Formula One sponsorship, which as well as the Santander British Grand Prix also includes sponsorship of Team Vodafone McLaren Mercedes and its championship leading drivers - Spanish double reigning World Champion Fernando Alonso and British sensation Lewis Hamilton - Abbey Mortgages is offering one person the chance to walk away with £100,000.

The winner’s name will be drawn and announced by Lewis Hamilton at the Santander British Grand Prix at Silverstone on Sunday 8 July. In addition, Abbey is giving away a hundred pairs of Grandstand tickets to the Santander British Grand Prix in a free prize draw.

Not content with making his presence felt at the front end of the Formula One grid, Lewis Hamilton is also making a dramatic impact across Abbey’s 714 UK branches - all of which now boast life-sized displays of the racing prodigy as part of an Abbey Mortgage consumer promotion.

Nici Audhlam Gardiner, Head of Mortgages at Abbey, said: “Winning this prize could quite simply change your life, and the best thing is that it is not restricted to Abbey customers, anyone can enter by filling out a form available from any Abbey branch.”

So what could £100,000 actually buy you?

299 Jimmy Choo Shoes - Everyone like to dress up in the latest designer fashion, the prize fund in this case would get you as many as 299 pairs of Jimmy Choo shoes!

A helicopter to beat the commuter traffic - Invest in buying a Hughes 300c helicopter to beat the morning traffic queues, and still have enough money to get flying lessons and fill up its tank.
