LONDON, United Kingdom – February 5, 2009: It’s the day performance car fans have been waiting for. Thursday 5 February signals the start of one of 2009’s most exciting motoring events – Swinton Specialist’s amazing ‘win-a-project-car’ competition.

The prize is nothing short of sensational. One lucky driver will take the keys to a stunning Nissan Skyline R33 worth over £10,000. He or she will also get £2k to burn on their choice of mods, plus a year’s free insurance courtesy of Swinton Specialist.

Rob Asher, head of Swinton Specialist, commented: “In 2007 we gave away a used Subaru Impreza WRX and received 6,000 entries. Last year we got an unbelievable 48,000 entries to win a Mitsubishi Evo V. With an iconic Skyline R33 on offer in 2009 we’re confident of outstripping that. This competition really is getting bigger and better every year.”

The Skyline R33 is a 2.6-litre twin-turbo super-coupé imported direct from Japan for this competition. Delivering around 300bhp, with your foot to the floor it will hit 60mph in approximately five seconds.

First registered in 1997, it’s got 63,000 miles on the clock, is in mint condition and ripe for some mods. What’s more, they’ve been started, with an upgraded tailpipe and air intake, new suspension coilovers and five-spoke Nismo alloys all round. The rest is up to the winner!

The competition is free to enter. For a chance to win, simply call Swinton Specialist for an insurance quote on 0800 781 8400 or visit www.swintonspecialist.co.uk to enter online. Or you can do it in person – and see the car in the metal – at the Swinton Specialist stand at many of this year’s auto shows.
