Halifax man wins dream car competition for a second time

Paul Greenwood was left speechless after scooping a brand-new Suzuki Jimny SZ5 Auto in Best of the Best (BOTB)’s online car competition just four years after winning a Jaguar F-Type in the same way.

The 48-year-old was in the middle of a couples yoga session when BOTB presenter Christian Williams turned up at his door to tell him he’d won this week’s prize.

“Oh my gosh! Shall I put my shoes on?” Having gone through the surprise already in 2016, Paul knew exactly what was happening when Christian knocked on the door.

“I always hoped I’d see you again,” he said as they walked out on to the street past the F-Type he won with the competition four years earlier.

Since being founded in 1999 by William Hindmarch, BOTB has given away over £34m worth of prizes, including supercars, cash and holidays.

With a huge beam on his face, Paul added: “I just can’t believe it - it’s brilliant. I’m completely overwhelmed.”

But the surprise wasn’t finished there.

Paul’s wife, Katherine, claimed “That’s mine!” when Christian led the couple round to the boot of the car where £10,000 in cash was waiting for them.

“That’s just the cherry on top,” Paul added.

“Kath turns 40 next year so I’m going to take her to the Maldives with the winnings - we’ve always wanted to go.

“The rest will be split between my two daughters. Lauren, 26, is saving for a house and Ella, 20, wants to train to be a makeup artist. This will really help both of them!”

Christian, who surprises BOTB winners all over the country each week, said: “It was amazing to head back up to Yorkshire to surprise Paul again. He’s a great guy, and the Jimny is a fantastic car. I hope they both enjoy it!”
