Winning Paul and a Car

 

In June 2003, Paul McCartney awarded the contest winner, 19-year-old Laura Andrew, and brand Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet.  Laura was the Two millionth audience member to see Paul's Back in the World Tour.  

Paul handed her the keys before the last Liverpool concert. Not only did Laura get to meet Paul McCartney and get a new car, but she also received Paul's personalized autograph inside a panel of the car! Would you want to drive around with Paul's autograph in your car? Could that part be removed? What if you got in an accident or your car was stolen?

After she won, Laura was bombarded with offers to sell her new car, which she turned down.  I just wonder where this car is now, over 20 years later.
