Buying a new SEAT will take you on a high – an Essex SEAT dealer is offering a free flying lesson for each new car customer.

Parkstone Motor Company in Leigh-on-Sea has teamed up with The Flight Centre at Southend Airport to offer new SEAT buyers a trial lesson in a Robinson R44 helicopter.

But for those who don’t want to take the controls of the helicopter, they can opt for an hour long flight over London instead.

Customers purchasing any new SEAT – ranging from an Ibiza Reference Sport for just £8,695 through to the range-topping Leon Cupra priced at £19,695 – between now and the end of December will earn a free lesson in the R44.

Robin Hutchins, Parkstone Sales Manager, said: “We’ve been trading for 37 years and are the longest established SEAT dealer in the UK, so we’ve run dozens of promotions down the years, but this one has really taken off!

“Flying a helicopter is something lots of people dream about doing, but, for one reason or another, many of them never get round to it. For that reason, many of our customers have been really excited by this special offer.”
