Your chance to drive away in Superman's first car

Friday 29 January 2016

Challenge yourself at Durrell and you could drive off with Superman’s car and even meet the Man of Steel himself.

The Trust are planning a big day at the Park in May when Henry Cavill’s first set of wheels is up for grabs - the prize motor is a 2002 silver Peugeot 206 with 33,000 miles on the clock.

Jersey's very own superman brought the car with his earnings from the 2002 film "The Count of Monte Cristo"- the film that launched his film career - and it's still registered in his name, but it could be yours!

There's more planned by Durrell - you can dash from town up to the Durrell Challenge on Sunday 15 May and compete in a 13K race and there lots to keep you entertained when you cross the finish line.

There will be talks with the keepers and a chance to learn more about the conservation and the animals at Durrell.

Durrell’s Honorary Director Lee Durrell said: “We are fortunate in having an Ambassador who has become a household name, of course, but we’re doubly blessed because Henry is truly committed to the Durrell cause of saving species from extinction.

“He will inspire everyone he meets that day to back us. We are enormously proud of this on-going partnership, and all of us here are deeply appreciative of Henry’s dedication to and hard work for Durrell.”

Henry Cavill said: “Regardless of what Lee says, I feel that I am the fortunate one, to be involved with so many dedicated people of such exceptional mind. I look forward to seeing you all there in May.”
