Kitkat entrepreneur Kelvin Bygrave has missed out on his bid to win a car - but he could not be happier.

Frinton businessman Mr Bygrave bought 27,000 KitKats to take part in an internet auction to win a Peugeot 307. But after feverish bidding last night, he was pipped to the post by a Bristol woman.

Mr Bygrave said today he had no regrets about buying the chocolate bars which he has given away to a range of groups and organisations.

"I am absolutely over the moon with the reaction I have had and to have been able to help so many organisations by giving out the KitKats," he said.
