LEXUS Southampton, part of the Hampshire based Snows Motor Group, are providing a car for Hampshire cricketer Alan Mulally for his testimonial year in 2005.

Lexus Southampton have a long-standing relationship with the Rose Bowl, having supplied vehicles to their cricketers for nearly five years.

Lexus centre manager Bill Wallwork said: "When Alan approached us to provide him with a car for his testimonial year, we were more than happy to oblige.

"We have a great relationship with the Rose Bowl and the Hampshire cricketers and we are really looking forward to being part of this important year for Alan."

In turn, Alan is very pleased to have Lexus Southampton supporting him and will be returning the favour by getting involved in some of the events Lexus have scheduled for next year.

"Bill and the team at Lexus have always helped me out in previous years," said Alan, "so when it came to arranging a car, they were my first port of call.

"It's great that I will be able to give something back this year due to it being my testimonial and I am really looking forward to getting involved in the events Lexus have planned."
