#B4B auction raises £15k!

Time 11:35 pm, November 2, 2011

dscn0089aOUR Bangers4BEN auction has just taken place at Aston Barclay’s Chelmsford site – and the cars made more than £15k!

The sale in Hall 1 of Chelmsford saw a throng of dealers battle it out to get a slice of the Bangers4BEN memorabilia, and the sale marks the end of 2011’s charity banger event.

In total the special sale raised £15,324.96 with buyers’ fees of £1,624.96 added, and will rise once sponsorship money is included.


Impressively, only two cars didn’t go under the hammer – BCA’s Alfa Romeo 147 which sold for £1k at another auction, and Crystal Communications’ Alfa 145 which will be sold separately. Team Klarius – who sportingly helped us out with our alternator failure – put a Renault Scenic into the auction instead of their Renault Safrane.
