Dartford plumber wins Porsche for second time in two years

A plumber considers himself one of the luckiest men alive after winning a second Porsche, just two days after selling his first one.

Tom Harvey, who lives in Bean near Dartford, was shocked to find he had scooped another model from the same online spot-the-ball competition.

The 28-year-old had only just sold his Porsche 911 GTS, which he won on Boxing Day 2017, to put down a deposit on a house.

Handing over the keys to his supercar after 18 months, he even joked "I could win again".

Tom didn't have very long to wait before another appeared on the driveway.

Less than 48 hours later, he attended a plumbing course with his dad, Bill, when he was approached by the Best of the Best (BOTB) car competition for a second time.

He was handed the keys to his new £48,750 Macan S, only two years after receiving his first.

He also received a cool £20,000 in cash.

The plumber remarked he was "properly gobsmasked' to see Christian Williams, BOTB’s chief ambusher again.

"I said I was going to buy something nice in a year’s time and even joked that I could win BOTB again," he said.

"But actually doing it is insane and I can’t get my head round it.”

"I just ditched the course and went to straight to Porsche in East London,” laughed Tom. “I seriously never thought I’d win once, let alone twice."

BOTB was founded by William Hindmarch in 1999 and has handed over the keys to more than £30m worth of cars.
