1,000 tiny toy cars are being hidden around 10 major UK cities over the next two weeks - and if you find one of the 100 hidden in Leeds, you could win an actual car worth more than £65,000.
The Auto Trader Car Hunt will see 100 miniature cars hidden in different cities every day for 10 days, with the hunt arriving into Leeds on 27 February.
Hints and clues will be posted daily to Auto Trader’s Instagram to tip locals off as to the toy cars’ whereabouts.
If you’re in Leeds, you’ll want to be peeping down the canals, creeping down the cobbles and rummaging through the bushes looking for these little treasures.
Because if you track one down, you’re in with a chance of winning a brand new Hyundai IONIQ 5 N worth more than £65,000.
All you need to do is snap a photo of the toy car and post it to your Instagram story, tagging in @autotraderuk.
Once the Auto Trader Car Hunt is over, one lucky winner will be chosen from a prize draw to drive away in a Hyundai IONIQ 5 N.

This high-performance electric car has been honed on the racetrack, featuring simulated gear shifts and engine sounds to recreate the thrill of a petrol car. And with 650 horsepower under the bonnet, it’s seriously quick.
But as well as being nippy and incredibly fun to drive, it’s a comfortable and efficient family hatchback too.
This nationwide car hunt will span 10 cities across the UK and is giving Brits a chance to win a top-of-the-range brand new electric vehicle.
The toy cars themselves will be 3D printed and will have a QR code on them, which will take you to a landing page with all the information you need and the steps to enter.
You’ll need to find a toy car and enter by 9 March, with the car hunt kicking off in Manchester on 24 February before coming to Leeds on 27 February.
Happy hunting everyone!

Leeds Bradford Airport is set for a standstill as almost 130 workers are set to take industrial action over pay.
If you're planning on catching a flight from Leeds Bradford Airport, then you may want to double check the date.
The Unite members planning on going on strike are a mixture of air traffic control workers, customer experience staff, security staff and cleaners.
The workers involved in the dispute have recently come out of a four-year pay deal, with some of the departments having fallen behind other airports in equivalent roles.
Pay talks have been happening since December 2025, with the airport's formal offer not going far enough to address the lack of pay parity.
Strikes will take place from 03:00 Friday 16 October to 06:00 Sunday 18 October for hourly paid staff and from 06:00 Friday 16 October to 06:00 Sunday 18 October for air traffic control workers.
Strike will mean the entire airport will shut down.
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: "Leeds Bradford Airport is very profitable and can more than afford to come back to the table with an offer that doesn't fall short of our members' expectations.
"Our hardworking members should not be paid less than those doing the same jobs at other airports. Workers taking action at Leeds Bradford Airport have Unite's full support in their fight for fairer pay."
Unite regional officer Neil Whitaker said: "We know people who have flights planned to and from Leeds Bradford Airport will be concerned to hear of industrial action, however our members have no choice but to strike.
"The airport is profitable, passenger numbers are growing and our members are a major part of its success. They deserve a fair pay rise, and management must come back to the table to deliver this."
Leeds pizza shop hailed ‘exceptional’ and ‘best in the UK’ by major reviewer
Clementine Hall
A Leeds pizza takeaway has received a glowing review from popular review duo.
Edges Pizza opened up their first permanent spot in Leeds back in June this year, after making a name for themselves slinging out pizzas at multiple pop-ups across the city.
Owners Grace and Edge from Harrogate opened Edges Pizza two years ago, taking inspiration from trips to New York over the years.

Their pizzas are a love letter to the class New York slice, think thin and crispy rather than chewy and floppy. But above all else, think absolutely delicious.
And now, they've caught the attention of a major review page, with Bite Twice Food Reviews (a page with almost 300k followers) paying Edges a visit.
The food review duo of Gerry del Guercio and Paul Delany popped up in Holbeck beneath the arches to get their hands on a pizza, and the outcome is brilliant.
In the video, Bite Twice said that the pizza is 'f**cking exceptional' and up there with 'one of the best pizzas in the UK'.
Before even taking a bite, they said: "On aesthetic, I don't think anywhere in the UK is doing pizza like this".

Then after the first bite, they go on to say: "There are very few pizzas in the UK that create this, I’m a little bit blown away".
As Londoners themselves, they go on to say that Edges is 'easily hitting with the best that we’ve got down south'.
And if that's not high praise enough, they sign off the video saying: "Leeds has got an absolute gem. I give this a stamp so hard my foot went through the pizza. Edges. Don Level."
