Now here's a thing...I've had this knocking about on Biglorryblog's 'Must do' folder for a while but I've rather let it slip. Anyway, basically what you have here is a special 1965 'split window' VW Transporter 'Magic Bus' which you can win (yes win) as part of a special competition that was recently launched by Roger Daltrey, lead singer of The Who (as if you didn't know that) and patron of the UK charity Teenage Cancer Trust---for whom the competition has been created.

The Magic Bus has been on display outside the Royal Albert hall since last Tuesday as part of the annual TCT week of fund raising gigs which includes performances from Madness, Muse, Paul Weller, Joan Armatrading, The Fratellis and, of course, The Who. And it will be there until tomorrow when the last TCT concert takes place.

Not only has it been signed by Roger Daltrey CBE and Pete Townshend, and branded with a unique design by The Who’s art director, Richard Evans, it also features the band’s famous target logo together with images of the original band members, including Keith Moon and John Entwistle.

Now click through here to find out how you can enter the competition! And another shot of the Magic Bus....

Tickets for the competition are available from this weblink and cost £5 each, with all net proceeds being donated to TCT. What's more, all entrants receive a free download of a previously unreleased live performance by The Who of their famous hit ‘Magic Bus’.

Inspiration for the competition stems from a successful collaboration between The Who and VW Commercial Vehicles last year which resulted in a special live performance by the band at an international celebration event of 60 years of the Volkswagen van in Hanover, Germany in October. yes you DO remember it because I featured it on BLB!

So why not enter the competition and contribute to charity along the way? especially as it will help TCT raise essential funds so that we can build more teenage cancer units within the NHS.
