WESTBURY Car Auctions have raised £550 for Children in Need, by auctioning off a 1966 Morris Minor at the launch of their classic car events.
The car was a special lot included in the 30-50 classic cars auctioned last Friday, on the day of Children in Need.
Auction owner Paul Burden said, “We are a little disappointed with the total as we were hoping for more but it is for a good cause and any amount raised is a good thing. The buyer certainly got a real bargain!
“We got hold of this car with the intention of auctioning it for charity. We wanted to make the auction as English as possible and we managed to get a Morris Minor from 1966!
“The car was completely in its original condition, and is just begging to be restored. These are genuine collectible cars and will only increase in value in the future; it’s a solid investment.
“The Morris Minor is a classic English car that stayed in production from 1948 – 1971, and is now popular among collectors.”
