Holly moves into gear with new car

HOLLY
Carpenter has the biggest date of her life next month when she contests the
Miss World Beauty Pageant in London.

However,
the Raheny beauty had another important date earlier this month when she picked
up the keys of a brand new SEAT Leon TSI.

The
recently crowned Miss Ireland will have the use of the car for the year of her
reign.

SEAT
was the official car sponsor of the Miss Ireland competition.

As
the new Miss Ireland, Holly will also become a SEAT brand ambassador joining
SEAT’s existing ambassadors, model Nadia Forde, TV presenters Aisling
O’Loughlin and Anna Daly, soccer star Stephen Rice and racing car driver Eoin
Murray.

Holly
will represent Ireland at the Miss World Pageant in London on November 8.

Eric
Morley created the first Miss World in 1951 as part of his promotion of the
Festival of Britain.

Miss
Ireland is actually older than this and is believed to be the longest running
beauty pageant in the world since 1947.

Speaking
about her new car, Holly said:

“I’m delighted I get to drive a gorgeous SEAT
Leon as part of my prize and also represent SEAT as a brand ambassador for the
next year.

“The
Leon is such a beautiful car and I can’t wait to get driving it.

“I’m
sitting my driving test as soon as I get back from the Miss Ireland finals and
after that you’ll see me everywhere – it’s the perfect car for my busy
lifestyle!

?

Lorenzo
Heller, Director of SEAT Ireland, said they were delighted to welcome Holly to
the team and would be firmly rooting for her in this year’s Miss World
competition.

“The
competition is one of the most coveted crowns in Ireland and we are delighted
to be involved,

? he stated.
