A BOSTON schoolgirl can claim to be one of the youngest people to have access to her own car.

The car is not quite a Jaguar but a piece of inspired craftsmanship by a town gardener.

Aysin Gilek with Paul Taylor, Fred Swyine, Sam Gilek and Joshua Robertson showing off their creations.

The tiny vehicle is a fully revamped mobility scooter and is the second built specially for seven-year-old Aysin Gilek.

Aysin's dad, Sam, who runs Tates Fish and Chip Restaurant in New Street explained: "Aysin was saying recently that I wasn't spending enough time with her – little did she know we were building her a car.

"She knew nothing about it – it was a complete surprise."

Sam's gardener, Paul Taylor, had received an unwanted mobility scooter and was trying to get rid of it.

Instead, Sam commissioned Paul to use his imagination and create a car for his daughter.

Paul really went to town on the task and included all the mod cons – MP3 player, radio, six hours of battery life, complete with accelerator and brake. He said: "It started as a bit of a joke. I came here to do the garden and ended up building a car.

"I have picked up a few skills through my work and just used my imagination."

With the expert welding skills of friend Fred Swyine and the design prowess of Sam, the team say they are proud of their work but are not planning any further projects at the moment.

Sam added: "It's just great to see the look on Aysin's face – she loves it."
