THIS week 24 teams from various parts of the motor industry will be doing their bit for charity in Bangers4BEN 2013.
Everything from an MGF to a Ford Granada Estate will be taking part in the marathon road-trip which sees competitors buying a car for £500 or less, driving to the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, popping into the fearsome Nurburgring and then driving home again to sell their cars for charity.
All the money raised will be donated to the motor charity BEN – and this year’s entry list is one of the biggest and best yet.
We will be tweeting and taking photos constantly throughout the trip to keep you updated. You can follow BEN on Twitter, and Car Dealer’s editor James Batchelor, Sophie Williamson-Stothert and Duncan Chappell.
Also follow the hashtag #B4B2013.
