Snap On unveils winner of Ford Model-T car

Snap-On tools has revealed the Ford Model-T car that the company exhibited at Automechanika Birmingham 2023 has found its new home with the competition winners, DJP Motors in Starcross, Devon.

The brand surprised winners, owners of DJP Motors, David and Charlene Parr, and their twin boys, with the car as the couple were chosen as the prize recipients. As huge vintage car enthusiasts, David and his boys travel to car shows regularly to indulge in their passion, so the prize could not have gone to better recipients.

To enter, customers had to purchase a Fast-Track Intelligent Diagnostics platform from Snap-On between January 2023 and the end of June 2023.

The brand displayed the Ford Model-T at Automechanika Birmingham in June this year to highlight the competition to visitors at the event, giving them a chance to take a picture with the car the opportunity for a last-minute entry.

Carrie Buckman, marketing manager at Snap-On, comments: “It was great to see so many garage owners and technicians at Automechanika Birmingham 2023. Snap-on prides itself on delivering premium products and services to help independent garage owners and technicians gain confidence in their skills, as well as provide tools and equipment that enable them to be more efficient and profitable.

“The event gave us a great opportunity to talk directly with those people to show what support Snap-on have to offer and learn from them for innovation in the future.”

She adds: “Seeing the Ford Model-T in the main entrance at Automechanika Birmingham, and people stopping to have a picture as they were in awe of its history was brilliant. It was a little sad for the Snap-on team as this was its last show with Snap-on before its new home was announced a month later.”
