A Scots dad has been left 'blown away' after winning a plush Audi worth almost £100k and £50k in cash.

Iain Nisbet, from Airdrie, won a modified Audi ABT RS3-R Plus worth £96k in BOTB's weekly Dream Car Competition.

The 49-year-old father-of-two was browsing an Audi dealership looking for a new company motor when BOTB presenter Christian Williams appeared and surprised him with the incredible news.

Christian then unveiled Iain's shiny new car, which was waiting for him in the dealership's handover bay.

Iain said: “When I saw Christian I was blown away, and to say I was surprised is an understatement.

"To win feels fantastic, and the whole experience was a pleasant, but surreal one.

“When I told my family they were screaming and yelling. There were also a few tears as well.

“The car ticks all the right boxes.

"It looks great, and it’s great for families in terms of going on days out and holidays. Who wouldn’t want one?”

The luxury sports car, which has a 500bhp i5 Turbo engine, has a top speed of 186mph.

On top of scooping the gleaming new vehicle, Iain was also left surprised when Christian opened the car's boot to reveal £50,000 in cash - adding to the incredible prize bundle.

“I would like to keep the £50,000 away from my wife, but that is probably the wrong thing to do,” Iain joked.

“I think she would like a new kitchen, and she also wants to take the kids to Disneyland in Florida. 

“2025 is already looking to be a fantastic year.” 

Christian said: “What an incredible way for Iain to start the new year!

"A stunning car and a life-changing cash prize - it’s moments like this that make my job so rewarding.

“I could see the shock in Iain’s face. He was a bit like a rabbit in headlights. 

“He’s clearly fallen in love with his new car, and I bet he can’t wait to get it on the road.”
