MYSTERY CAR STILL UNDER WRAPS

KERR & SMITH / IVECO 'CAR IN A BOX' HAS THEM ALL GUESSING
THE new sponsors of the first prize in Ayr Racecourse's famous Ladies Day Final teased would be contestants at Valentine's Raceday on Saturday by keeping the magnificent prize under wraps.
Kerr & Smith/Iveco Trucks are the proud sponsors and the prize is a top of the range car but just what make and model remains a mystery despite the car being at the course on Saturday.
For the car was in a box on the back of an Iveco Truck as part of a display at the Racecourse and was concealed although graphics on the box showed several models which could provide an answer to the guessing game which will go on for some time yet.
And groups of girls… and guys took the chance to try to have a peek at the prize without any luck. But some just couldn't resist the temptation to climb into the cab of the impressive Iveco Stralis.
Jim Smith of the Kerr & Smith Group, who has branches in Cumnock, Ayr and Glasgow, said: "We are delighted to be sponsoring the first prize for the Ayr Ladies Day Final on Friday September 19. Ladies Days and Nights are Ayr Racecourse are great social events and I am looking forward to our association with the event.
"We have the Franchise for Iveco Trucks in Glasgow and South West Scotland and it is fitting such a prestigious partnership should be backing this great competition. Iveco's worldwide corporate organisation are also the sponsors of the All Blacks rugby team another powerful success story.
"I took the opportunity of bringing the Stralis to the course on Saturday and the interest it caused was quite something. Everyone wanted to know what was in the box on the back of the truck. "It will remain a mystery for a few weeks yet but I can honestly say nobody will be disappointed."
Ayr Racecourse Marketing Manager Lindsey Smith added : "We have built up a great tradition with our Ladies Day Final. This will be the fifth year in a row we have had a car and I can assure the ladies they will be suitably impressed by this year's prize when it is revealed."
And as in previous years there will also be spectacular runners up prizes of a never to be forgotten holiday from Stewart Travel and a stunning piece of jewellery from Oghams of Ayr and Edinburgh.
