EBAY MOTORS HAS CHRISTMAS ALL WRAPPED UP
Unique gift wrapping service for cars launches today

11 December, 2006

From today, anyone who buys a car, motorbike, van or boat as a gift on eBayMotors.co.uk can also pay for their purchase to be beautifully gift wrapped in time for Christmas - just like a romantic scene from the movies.

The UK's busiest showroom has Christmas all wrapped up after a bespoke wrapping specialist agreed to offer the service on eBayMotors.co.uk throughout the month of December for a special fee.

This one-off wrapping service includes a full bumper-to-bumper vehicle wrap, decorative ribbons and a large bow and gift tag. Generous gift givers need only to log onto eBayMotors.co.uk and click on the 'Gift Wrapped Cars' link to buy this wonderfully indulgent Christmas gesture.

Expert Car Wrapper Tom Bosanquet from Wrapology explains: "Christmas really has come early for us, and considering a car sells every two minutes on eBayMotors.co.uk I'm sure we'll be kept quite busy. Prices for the exclusive car wrapping service start at £400 but we're also expecting to get requests for larger items such as vans, boats etc."

eBayMotors.co.uk decided to launch the service after being approached by a young banker who wanted to have the Ferrari he bought on the site for his girlfriend gift wrapped in time for Christmas.

Jody Ford from eBay Motors comments: "A car or motorbike is the ultimate Christmas present and wrapping it up gives the perfect finishing touch and makes a lasting impression, whether it's a Ferrari or any one of the 40,000 cars, motorcycles and other vehicles for sale on the site."

Anyone who wants to attempt to wrap the car themselves can also purchase their own car wrapping kit on the site. Priced at £119, the kit comes with full instructions, festive ribbon and 150 metres of wrapping paper.
