THE Teenage Cancer Trust (TCT), soon to open a centre at Southampton General Hospital, this week linked with legendary rock band The Who to launch a worldwide competition to win a unique 1965 "split-screen"' Volkswagen Transporter van with special The Who "Magic Bus" branding.

The competition to win the iconic van, provided by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, was launched by Roger Daltrey, The Who frontman and patron of TCT, this week at the opening night of the annual TCT week of fund raising gigs at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

This unique Volkswagen van will be on display outside the Royal Albert Hall until the last TCT gig on Sunday. It has been signed by Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend, and branded with a unique design by The Who's art director, Richard Evans, featuring the band's famous target logo together with images of the original band members, including Keith Moon and John Entwistle.

Tickets for the competition are available from thewhomagicbus.com and cost £5 each, with all net proceeds being donated to TCT. All entrants receive a free download of a previously unreleased live performance by The Who of its famous hit Magic Bus.
