Daikin UK offers a classic ride

DaikinUK_VRV-DriveUK: Daikin UK is offering VRV installers the chance to drive a classic car through Tuscany in the spring.

The air conditioning distributor is offering a place on the trip for the first 30 installation companies to order 10 VRV systems before the 31st December 2015.

Winners will be driving classic sports cars through the hairpin bends and hilltop towns of the Chianti region from Bologna to Florence in a selection of rare marques such as a 1971 Jaguar E Type, 1954 Austin Healey Roadster and 1965 Ford Shelby Cobra.

The journey includes an epic drive along part of the famous Mille Miglia road racing route, where Alfa Romeo and Ferrari battled it out to the 1000 mile finish line, as well as a private tour of the Ferrari Museum and test track in Maranello, the birthplace of a truly iconic marque.

“Last year’s VRV Drive was an epic success and we are sure this year’s event will be just as unforgettable,” said Daikin UK’s marketing manager Giulia Draycott.
