Your chance to win a Triumph GT6 MK3 (and support a good cause)

Firstly, thanks to the moderators of the Classic Cars forum, and also to Dav, for allowing me to post this.

For several years now, my parents have been involved in fundraising for The Chernobyl Orphans' Fund. The charity got an amazing boost recently when an anonymous individual donated a Triumph GT6 MK3 vintage sports car. This car is being raffled to raise much needed funds on September 23rd (next Friday) in the Mills Inn, Ballyvourney, Co. Cork.

The full list of prizes is as follows:
1st Prize: Vintage Triumph GT6 MkIII Car
2nd Prize: Two nights B&B for two people at the Maritime Hotel, Bantry, Co. Cork.
3rd Prize: €200 voucher for Tyres from Cronin's Motorhomes, Cill na Martra, Macroom, Co. Cork.
4th Prize: Reversing Camera Kit (value of €200) from Bantry Campers, Bantry, Co. Cork.
5th Prize: €50 voucher for Lee's Hair Salon, Macroom, Co. Cork

Tickets cost €5 each, or 3 for €10, and are being sold under permit from Macroom Garda Siochana.

Best of luck with the fundraising. Thread stickied and I just bought the first tickets

I bought tickets for this in Innishannon this year, so how can it be a new raffle?

It's the same raffle. If you check the counterfoils, you will see the draw is being held on September 23rd.

Thank you for supporting by buying the tickets at Inishannon.

It's a sweet little car, and looks mighty fine when moving.

any news on the winner? was i right in hearing that the draw was on the 23rd?

dudara · 25-09-2011 10:18am

First off, thanks so much to everyone who supported this cause. Thanks to the Boards team who allowed me to do this, and a second thannks to the members of the Triumph Classic Owners Club who got in touch based on this thread.

In total, over €20,000 was raised, which is absolutely amazing in the current climate.

Unfortunately, none of the internet purchasers were successful in the draw (:(). In fact, none of the tickets I sold was a winner.

The winner of the car was
Sue Murphy,
Clonmeen,
Banteer,
Co Cork.

She was fairly gobsmacked when she heard the news, as she didn't purchase a ticket herself. Obviously a family member entered on her behalf.

That's a great result. Well done to all those involved in organising it

And well wear Sue :cool:

I'll hope she'll log on to boards and posts a few pictures here

I know Sue, she's a lovely woman. Her family are car enthusiasts so the Triumph is going to a good home and will be looked after.

That's brilliant news. And welcome to boards

Would you do us all a great favour and ask Sue to sign up to boards (like you did) and post a few pics?
