“When the previous deal on the Honda was due to run out, I did some research on the offers available locally”, says Sally, who has worked at the same primary school for around 12 years, teaching pupils in Year 2.

“But the best deal I could find was again with Newgate on the scheme designed specifically for teachers.”

Sally first came across the Mini when she had to drive one belonging to a pupil’s parent in an emergency. She then decided to take the plunge and says that it’s great fun to drive. As well as the six and seven year-olds she teaches, Sally’s three grown-up children also seem to like her Mini.

“I’m hoping they might get their own soon!” says Sally. “The car was delivered from Scotland especially for me, so it could be delivered on time and with no hassle”, she continues. “The chance to update to a new car every three years is a big bonus, I know how much I’ll be paying each month and I also know that there’s no cheaper finance scheme for me out there right now.”

It seems that, for Sally, the Newgate experience has been child’s play!
