Shannons Italy Competition winner puts everything on hold to take prize

By Shannons - 27 April 2017

Jan from Tasmania was delighted to be informed of her win in the Shannons Italian Concorso D’Eleganza Competition, but when advised of the dates of the trip to coincide with the international event she was confronted with a dilemma. A long term waiting list for surgery was almost set to put a stop to a trip of a lifetime.

It didn’t take Jan long to make the decision that the trip to Italy and the Concorso D’Eleganza on Lake Como, then touring through Italy onto Monaco in a Mercedes Benz was more appealing than a hospital bed and that the elective surgery could wait a little longer.

There is no doubt Jan is a real motoring enthusiast with her Morris Minor, Datsun Ute and home all insured with Shannons. In fact Jan won the prize by way of an automatic entry for her Shannons home insurance.

The trip to Italy for the Concorso D’Eleganza, with it’s many inclusions, was a little daunting to take in at first, but the absolute cream on the cake was the 2017 Indian Scout Motorcycle with 12 months comprehensive Shannons insurance that was also part of the prize.

Jan has ridden motorcycles for many years, and had only stopped riding in recent times. But now she will soon be back in the saddle, already planning to fly to Melbourne to pick up her new Indian Scout and return to Tassie on the Spirit of Tasmania. Asked when she would like to collect the bike, Jan replied "the sooner the better".

Congratulation Jan. We know you'll thoroughly enjoy your trip to Italy and your brand new Indian Scout motorcycle.
