SIR Paul McCartney surprised a teenage fan with a gift of a new Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet.

He made the presentation to 19-year-old Laura Andrew just before the final concert in Liverpool of his Back to the World tour this month. She received the car for being the two millionth audience member of the tour. The ex-Beatle signed an inside panel: 'For Laura. Well Done. Two millionth. Love Paul McCartney.'

Laura immediately received offers for the car but turned them down.
