WITH Father's Day this weekend, the Citizen has teamed up with SGL, one of the biggest motor dealerships in the North West, to offer one reader's lucky dad the use of a new Rover 75 for a weekend.

And with the release of the car today (Thursday), the lucky father will be one of the first people to sample the delights of the magnificent motor.

SGL, which opened in Riversway last December, will be instrumental in the launch of the car.

The prestigious machine is the result of a £700 million investment at Rover Oxford and is destined to be the flagship of the Rover range.

The Rover 75 normally costs between £18,275 and £25,629, but your dad could be cruising around in style all weekend for free!

All you have to do to enter is write 100 words or less on: Why my dad deserves a Rover 75.

Entries to: Harrison Cowley, Manchester International Office Centre, Styal Road, Manchester M22 5WB. Only one entry per reader and the winning father must be over 25 with a clean driver's licence.
