Join the Tour de Banxso and you could drive away in a vintage Merc

South African mixed martial arts sensation Dricus “Stillknocks” du Plessis was recently spotted cruising the Cape Town coastline in a vintage Mercedes-Benz, sparking curiosity and admiration among fans and onlookers alike.

A closer look at photos shared on social media revealed the chic convertible had the words “Tour de Banxso” blazoned across its windscreen, prompting many to wonder about the source of the UFC middleweight World Champion's new ride.

The mystery was solved when it was revealed that Banxso — a leading name in responsible online trading and investing — had signed a sponsorship deal with Du Plessis and lent him the classic car to promote its exhilarating Tour de Banxso trading challenge.

Even more exciting, it was announced that the exact car du Plessis was driving is part of the first prize up for grabs in this awesome competition, which reflects Banxso's ethos of empowering online traders of all skill levels and aims to reward its clients for their support.
