A roaring, flying machine powered by magic and kitted out with a swimming pool and sweets machine is how kids in Scotland have described their ultimate dream car.
Although adults may long for a car with an in-built touchscreen navigation system, Bluetooth connectivity and all-wheel drive, when it comes to vehicles children are a much tougher crowd to please.
A recent poll commissioned by the Bentley by Me campaign asked 1,000 children across the UK aged between six and 12 what their dream car would be like – and the results are out of this world.
In Scotland, 40% of children want a car that can fly. And forget petrol – if kids had their way, their dream car would be powered by magic (22.9%), chocolate (7.1%) or hamsters running round wheels (7.1%).
For nearly a quarter (22.9%) of children in Scotland, their ideal seats would be made out of beanbags, while one in five would like to sit on marshmallows.
To keep hunger attacks at bay during their road trip, 17.1% of respondents said they would most like to have a sweets machine and as additional entertainment, 8.6% would even want a swimming pool in their car and 8.6% would like an Xbox One.
Of course, being under the legal age to drive children would have a chauffeur to ferry them around – and for once, it’s not their parents.
One in 10 would like Elsa from Frozen behind the wheel and 17% of respondents said they would like a minion to drive their car.
And where would they drive to? Well, 40% would go to Disneyland and 14.3% would travel to the moon or space.
The survey results have been released to mark the launch of Bentley by Me, a new and ambitious initiative organised and run by The Care2Save Charitable Trust and Bentley Motors to raise money to transform palliative and hospice care around the world.
For a donation of just £1, people will be entered into a prize draw to win a Bentley Continental GT V8, which they will be able to make into their own dream car by personalising it with their choice of exterior colour and interior finish from Bentley’s extensive colour palette.
The Bentley by Me campaign runs until August 14. Visit www.care2save.co.uk/ Bentley for full details and terms and conditions.
