Donald Trump to give Smart Cars to buyers at his planned new Scottish development

Donald Trump is to give away a free Smart Car to everyone who buys one of the houses on his planned Scottish estate. Trump is hoping to win over environmental opponents to the Aberdeenshire development.

Trump is thought to be working on a deal to secure a fleet of electric-powered Smart Cars to give away with each of the 500 planned homes on the Scottish estate near Balmedie, Aberdeenshire, reports The Scotsman.

Neil Hobday, project director, said: "We've been in discussions with a major distributor of Smart Cars for about a year on this idea. Each house would have a plug point in the garage. This would be a major step to lead the way as developers delivering on sustainability."

Trump is keen to promote his eco-credentials; George Sorial who works for Trump said: "Mr Trump went to some lengths at the enquiry [into whether the homes should be built] to underline our environmental credentials and our track record on this issue, and those weren't empty words...Every part of the development would be progressed in line with the best environmental standards."
