£60,000 raised for Children in Need!



What a weekend Carfest South proved to be! Fantastic fun for all, especially the families who attended, with plenty of great bands playing on the main stage, excellent food in the 'Cakes verses Pies' competition and some stunning cars taking part in the hillclimb.

We all had a ball and the Auction was a major part of the fun too, with Chris Evans on stage at both of our auctions, entertaining everyone and creating a special and light hearted event. Charity Lots were auctioned by Chris and World Landspeed record holder, Richard Noble, including the beautiful 1960's Split Screen Camper Van which raised £33,500 for Children in Need on its own!

The auction sold 43 cars in total for a value of £625,000 which is an excellent 62% sales rate for our vendors. But more importantly, after all the Lots had been sold which included our contributions to Children in Need, we finally raised a fantastic total of £60,000 for the charity.

We are so pleased to have been involved and are now really looking forward to Carfest North which is taking place at Cholmondeley Castle, near Leeds on Sat/Sun 8th and 9th September 2012.
Late entries are now being taken for the auction, so please consign today. We look forward to seeing you there and can offer our regular customers some limited tickets for the weekend.
