A COUPLE making their first trip to Glasgow have won a £30,000 electric car.

Carolyn Henderson, from Durham, entered the competition at a family fun day held by energy company Scottish Power in George Square.

She was visiting the city for the first time with husband Peter and his parents and was able to drive home in her new Nissan car.

The energy firm hosted the giveaway as part of a weekend welcoming the opening of its new headquarters in the city.

The event was held on a theme of power in Glasgow’s past, present and future with fun activities for families and featured a special giveaway of a zero emission Nissan Leaf hatchback.

Car winner Carolyn Henderson said: “We are so delighted to have won the Nissan Leaf car, it is lovely to drive, and so easy”.

She added: “I thought it would take some time to get used to an automatic, but I’m already pretty comfortable with it.

“We had a lovely trip to Glasgow and I still can’t quite believe how lucky we’ve been.

“I’d really like to thank everyone at ScottishPower, the whole family is absolutely over the moon.”
