THE WORLD Cup starts today, and Wirral's Toyota dealer Evans Halshaw got into the mood with an open day at the Wallasey dealership at the weekend.

Evans Halshaw opened its doors to give people the chance to win a brand new Toyota, as part of a nationwide competition. Runner-up get holidays to one of the 32 countries competing in France '98, and all entries win up to £200 of Thomas Cook holiday discount vouchers, so everyone's a winner.

Local winners will be announced in the Wirral Globe in a month's time.
