The keys to a brand new car have been buried somewhere in the UK

The keys to a brand new car have been buried somewhere in the UK, giving one lucky the person the chance to win their very own whip.

With the cost of driving continuing to soar, Scrap Car Comparison is aiming to take the sizeable upfront expense out of the equation for one lucky driver: the cost of the car itself.

All people need to do is find the location of the keys and be the first to dig them up.

In a nationwide treasure hunt open to drivers up and down the country, clues to the location of the keys to the brand-new vehicle will go live at 9am on Tuesday October 18th.

Then, there will be a series of clues referring to a unique combination of three words. Those taking part need to decipher each clue to pinpoint the exact location of the keys, using the popular what3words app.

The first people to dig them up will be driving home in a brand new petrol-powered Fiat 500, worth over £12,000.

Dan Gick, managing director of Scrap Car Comparison said: “We found that over a fifth of drivers are feeling stressed about car costs every single week, but in a society where owning a car can be essential for so many, this stress can be inescapable.

“It goes without saying that one of the biggest costs when it comes to car ownership, is paying for the car itself.

“We come across many people that have had to scrap their car for various reasons, but are left finding it difficult to get a wallet-friendly replacement that won’t break down on them.

“With all of this in mind, we wanted to give someone the chance to become the owner of a brand new, and importantly, reliable car – for absolutely free.

“We also felt the treasure hunt was the perfect way to do this, as it should give people some fun, in these not-so enjoyable times.”
