Motorpoint’s new model

Time 1:40 am, October 20, 2011

motorpoint-1CAR supermarket Motorpoint has added another model to its stock list – a Miss World competitor!

The firm is sponsoring 19-year old Sharnelle Guest, from Nottingham, as she travels to London to compete in the American Dream pageant which saw more than 2,000 girls apply for the chance to represent England.

Motorpoint’s sponsorship will help fund Guest in her dream to become Miss England.


‘I love doing pageants as they make you more confident, are good fun and give you plenty of opportunities by opening doors,’ said Guest. ‘I want to win the American Dream Pageant because representing England has always been a dream and I would feel very proud to win and be one step closer to trying for the world title.

‘Motorpoint is a great representative of the UK having been firmly established and built in Britain, so I am really grateful that they are helping to give me the chance to pursue my goal to become Miss England.’

She’s also no newcomer – Guest has represented England in the Miss Motors World competition over in Cannes and Monaco, and will do the same in 2012, making an appearance on the starting grid of the Monaco Grand Prix as well as other events.


David Shelton, managing director, Motorpoint, said: ‘At Motorpoint, we are used to having the best of British on our stock lists, so it made perfect sense for us to help Sharnelle in her quest to be crowned Miss England!

‘Around 95 per cent of our models are UK cars and having been established and contributed to the motor industry in Britain since 1998, we are more than happy to support another home grown talent. We wish Sharnelle the best of luck in the finals!’
