#B4B15: The Bangers go under the hammer – and we’ve raised more than £45k!

Time 5:44 pm, October 30, 2015

BANGERS4BEN 2015 is now but a distant memory and we can announce the grand total raised by this year’s charity rally has topped £45,000!

The last task before putting the 2015 event to bed was perhaps the hardest of them all: saying goodbye to the bangers at the customary auction that takes place each year.

BCA Blackbushe kindly hosted today’s sale.


The company sold the cars free of charge to ensure the maximum was raised for charity and in addition, all buyer’s fees were donated to the cause.

The auction is now over and we can announce that Bangers4BEN 2015 has raised a total of £45,755, £22,987 coming from the sale of the cars, of which there are five more to sell.

Three vehicles were also donated by dealers at the auction house, raising an extra £500.


In perhaps an unsurprising turn of events, Prestige Diesels’ Mitsubishi FTO was the star of the show, entering the auction file first, and ultimately leaving with the highest price.

Kelly Neal, events and exhibitions manager at BEN, commented: ‘It’s just amazing to have raised this amount.

‘It was great to see some of the guys who had already bought their cars come to buy them back and support us even further.’
