Emma Raducanu returns to humble wheels after having £125k car taken away.
Emma Raducanu has been spotted back on the road.
Emma Raducanu has been spotted driving her second-hand Dacia Sandero.
The tennis star purchased her beloved car just days before the coronavirus pandemic four years ago, forking out £5,000 for the vehicle shortly after she had passed her test.
However, the 21-year-old had left the Dacia Sandero on the drive since her US Open success, with her surge of fame seeing the Bromley star secure a series of lucrative sponsorship deals with top brands, including Porsche.
The deal saw Raducanu land a 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet as part of the agreement, though the car appears to have returned to the company after the Brit has endured a shaky few years since her success at Flushing Meadows.
The Daily Mail reported earlier this month that Raducanu had the motor, worth £125,000, ‘taken away’ after the endorsement deal concluded. Porsche are said to have confirmed that the tennis star is only ‘loaned a car’ on an ‘ad-hoc’ basis.
According to The Sun, Raducanu is now back driving her Dacia Sandero and has been spotted in her first car on several occasions recently.
