DAIHATSU'S cute Copen sportscar celebrated The Sunday Times Motor Show Live with a free leather pack comprising heated leather seats, leather door trim and a leather Momo steering wheel - collectively worth £500.
"It was our way of thanking the 1,500 visitors to our stand at the last NEC Motor Show who filled in information sheets effectively telling Daihatsu in Japan that the UK had to have this car," said Andrew Edmiston, managing director of Daihatsu Vehicle Distributors Limited.
He added: "In fact, so intense was interest in Copen at that show that the factory swiftly started engineering the car through European Whole Vehicle Type Approval. We are naturally delighted with the result as Copen has really captured the imagination of customers and dealers alike." The original Japanese home-market K-Car has been transformed into an exportable icon, with even Germany and Australia catching Copen fever - the latter entering the car into a race series with considerable success.
On sale since last December, the compact roadster features a Mercedes SLK-like electric folding roof and disarming looks with a teardrop design, oval front and rear lights and minimum front and rear overhangs.
