New Great Wall Steed S to Be Won at Balmoral County Show

Great Wall Steed

Great Wall is giving one lucky visitor to the Balmoral County Show the chance to drive away in one of its new Steed S pickup trucks in a free giveaway on Friday 17 May.

Held in conjunction with Northern Ireland’s leading agricultural publication, Farming Life, 25 finalists have been selected at random from thousands of entries to a competition run in the magazine recently.  Of these finalists, one winner will be chosen to drive away the Steed at 2.00pm on Friday 17 May at the Farming Life stand.

“We are delighted to be offering a lucky visitor to the Balmoral County Show a chance to win a Great Wall Steed S,” said Neville Matthews, Great Wall’s Managing Director for Ireland.  “Our vehicles already represent outstanding value for money, but to be given one free of charge is a fantastic opportunity and goes a small way to giving something back to the hard-working Northern Irish agricultural industry.”

Already the UK’s most affordable 4×4 double-cab pick up, with prices starting from £13,998 CVOTR, the Great Wall Steed is also the only vehicle of its kind to be offered with a six year / 125,000-mile warranty.  It has also recently been uprated to boast a braked towing capacity of 2,500kg, making it even better value for money.

The Balmoral County Show is the largest agricultural and food exhibition in Northern Ireland, taking place on 15-17 May 2013 at Balmoral Park, Lisburn.
