Electrician Daniel Davies says it’s ‘the best Christmas present ever’…a new, customised SEAT Ibiza fitted with a state-of-the-art audio-visual system worth thousands of pounds.
ICE-cool Daniel became the envy of all his friends after scooping the unique supermini – specially produced to celebrate the second season of the acclaimed Channel 4 music show, On Track with SEAT. It was just in time too; his own car is permanently out of action.
Daniel’s new car is based on the stylish SEAT Ibiza SC 1.4 85 PS Sportrider, but has been fitted out by Kenwood Electronics with an awesome 2,800 watt sound system and a 22-inch TV screen in the boot.
And after collecting the keys from Liverpool SEAT’s Pall Mall showroom, the 25-year-old from Clubmoore joked: “All my mates are desperate to see it. I’ve got more stops to make on my way home than Santa!”
Daniel’s win came courtesy of a competition run throughout the eight-week second series of On Track with SEAT. While watching the Kaiser Chiefs episode, he correctly answered a question online and thought no more about it. But just weeks later he was told his name had been drawn from the tens of thousands of entrants.
A delighted Daniel, who had been without a car since his broke down a year ago, said: ‘My girlfriend Kelly’s over the moon, too, because she knows she’ll get to drive it.’
The car comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, climate control, a combined USB/Aux-in port, Bluetooth connectivity, rear parking sensors and automatic lights and windscreen wipers. But SEAT and Kenwood Electronics fitted leather seats embossed with the On Track with SEAT logo and then went to work on the In-Car Entertainment (ICE).
The system is headed-up by Kenwood’s feature-packed DNX5260BT DVD/USB Receiver running through a 6.1-inch full colour touch screen on the dash. This delivers full iPod connectivity allowing access to an entire MP3 music library on the move at the touch of a button.
There’s integrated Parrot Bluetooth for hands-free mobile phone calls and a Garmin sat-nav. The Kenwood multimedia system controls two amplifiers that pump out 2,800 Watts of power, the front door cards and boot redesigned to house two pairs of Kenwood’s finest speakers and a 12-inch subwoofer. Finally, there’s a 22-inch remote controlled HD TV in the boot.
