A Chelmsford mother of three is selling the new Rolls Royce she won -- because she and her husband cannot afford to run it.
Ford Fiesta owners Carol and Royal Mail sorter Stephen Smith would rather pay off their mortgage than keep the £159,000 Silver Seraph.
Carol, 48, who won the car in an internet horse racing competition, said: "It would be fantastic to own such a prestigious car, but it won't fit into our garage, let alone our pocket."
She beat thousands to secure the top prize Silver Seraph, plus a VIP week's holiday for two at the world's first seven-star hotel in Dubai.
