The Silverstone Auctions team - fresh from their recent success at the Silverstone Classic - arrived at Oulton Park on the weekend of 4/5th August to a fun charity sale with petrol head, Chris Evans, and set about selling 20 or so value classic cars to the enthusiastic audience, but more importantly raising £115,651 for BBC Children in Need from the stunning charity Lots on offer.
Star of the show was the awesome Vicarage Jaguar E-Type which the very generous vendor had offered all sale proceeds to the charity direct. The beautiful car raised £73,025, including £7,500 donated from Silverstone Auctions selling fees. A great result for everybody involved. I was personally delighted and extremely proud of our whole team.
Our new Camper King partners generously combined with Nick Whale Sportscars and converted a second hand van (for free!) during the festival which sold eventually for £22,425 with over £6,000 going directly to BBC Children in Need.
A stunning result all round and we are now only halfway through Carfest - with the sale at Carfest South coming up on the bank holiday weekend of August 24/25th - at Laverstoke Park Farm in Hampshire.
A diverse and eclectic entry includes 72 classic cars, an historic caravan and an ex Harry Potter motorcycle...
Tickets are available for the day and all the Lots can be seen, including some amazing charity Lots, at www.silverstoneauctions.com
Don't miss it....!
