Emma Raducanu has been reported to be driving around in her old second-hand Dacia Sandero – and the company have came in with a brilliant offer.
The British No. 2 saw her £125,000 Porsche taken back by the German car manufacturers earlier this week.
And it has seen Raducanu blow the dust off her old Sandero, which she fell in love with after buying it second-hand four years ago.
The £5,000 motor has never let her down – but Dacia have now got in touch to offer her a more up-to-date model.

Dacia wrote in a post on X: “Dear @EmmaRaducanu.
“Whether it’s your forehand, backhand, or Sandero keys in-hand — you know a thing or two about reliability.
“So while some brands may (double) fault and let you down, you can always trust your Sandero.
“Here’s to many more miles.”
Just days after having her Porsche taken off her by the company, it was reported that Raducanu was seen whipping around in her more modest vehicle.
In 2022, the 23-year-old was gifted a £125,000 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet, which has a top speed of 102 mph.
It was part of an agreement that saw her named a global brand ambassador for Porsche following her US Open victory a year before.
A perfect match? Dacia offers the keys to a brand new Sandero to Emma Raducanu after tennis star spotted driving in preferred second-hand motor due to high-profile car being taken back.

But her love for her Dacia never subsided, and she said in the same year: “My dad is Romanian and a Dacia was his first car. So, yeah, I have a white Dacia Sandero.
“It was funny, I passed my test three days before the first lockdown and we sort of knew it was going into lockdown, so we needed to buy a car ASAP.
