26 Cars sold at Carfest North and another £30,000 raised





Carfest North had an even more exciting feel than South, as over 25,000 people attended the event at Cholmondeley Casle on the 8th and 9th of September 2012, enjoying live music, great food and an exciting hillclimb.

Silverstone Auctions were delighted to sell a further 26 cars out of the 43 offered in an eclectic mix that ranged from a beach buggy through to an Aston-Martin Vanquish! But more importantly the charity Lots offered raised a further £31,000 for Pudsey, taking our total monies raised from both Carfests to close to £90,000 for BBC Children in Need.

A great time was had by all, we feel privileged to have been a part of Carfest and to have worked so closely with our friend Chris Evans whose energy levels and professionalism were staggering throughout.

Carfest will surely now become a future part of British summer festivals and looks set this year to raise £1 million in its own right.

Meanwhile, we look forward to our next big sale for classic cars, classic bikes and automobilia at the Classic Car show at the NEC on November 17th. Entries are now invited please contact our professional vehicle consignors on 01926 691141. Thank you.
