MOTORIST is raffling off his wife's Porsche car — because she thinks it is too powerful.

Andi Love, aged 33, from Little Lever opted to sell the top of the range Porsche Cayenne S version 4.5 V8 360 BHP after getting fed-up with time wasters when trying to sell it the traditional way.

The Manchester-based account manager has sold all 49 numbers online at £150 each — with the winning number being decided by which National Lottery bonus number is drawn this week.

He bought the car for his wife as a surprise but she found it to be too powerful when she used it to drive the family to the Lake District.

Mr Love said: “My wife, does like the car, but only uses it to drop the children off at school and go to the shops — and you get a lot of attention driving a Porsche. It is not that the car is too fast, the driver does control the speed, and on normal roads it is fine, but on a motorway you cannot feel how fast the car is going.

"It is a big luxury vehicle — and you look at the speedometer and it doesn’t feel like you are doing that speed.”

The father to Jorge, aged five, and Archie, aged three, bought the car in April fulfilling a promise he made to his wife Leanne, his wife, when they first met and she asked him to buy her a Porsche.

He said: “When I tried selling the car the traditional way, people would come and look at it and ask if I could knock some off and I just got fed up, so I decide to raffle it off. I put it up on Sunday night and shared it on sites, and by Tuesday night the numbers had been sold.

“I did get a lot of negative responses, people saying it is a fix, how is it a fix? Can I fix the National Lottery?”

“Leanne said it wouldn’t work, and I said I would make it work."

Mr Love who says he has worked hard to buy the car, will get the money for what he thinks the car is worth, adding: “Porsches do sell for £10,000, some lower, some higher — a lot of Porsche drivers won’t be happy with me.”

He added: “One of the people who has bought a number told me they have always wanted to own a Porsche, it’s their dream car and they could never have afforded to do it.”

Mr Love will refund the winner's £150 - meaning they get the Porsche completely free - before pocketing the remaining £7,200 to cover the cost he paid in the first place.

Mr Love said: “I sold off my motorbikes and the money will go towards a house.”

“I don’t know what my wife’s next car will be. I have since been approached by people to do this for their cars!”
