Ninety-six-year-old Cofton Park Manor resident Iris Bessent was auto-matically thrilled when she enjoyed a spin in a Mercedes Benz convertible sports car.
Iris, who has lived at the Cofton Hackett home for the last two years, has always had a love of cars – although she has never had a driver’s licence.
She said: “I loved it driving in the open and I felt just like Audrey Hepburn, what a wonderful day!”
The luxury car belongs to Iris’s daughter-in-law, Gail Bessent, who works as the Wellbeing Coach at the home.
Gail said: “Iris and I do share a love of convertible cars, so as soon as I picked my new car up, I couldn’t wait to give Iris a spin in it. It’s very comfortable and offers a very smooth ride.
“Iris giggled all through the journey, and I am sure other drivers must have had a laugh at us, too, as we celebrated this very special moment.
“I am sure we will be doing it again soon!”
