With the very generous support of Iconic Auctioneers, Ferrari North Europe raised over £32,000 for charity at an auction of Ferrari North Europe Press Car registration number plates at SupercarFest at Sywell Park on Saturday 18 May.
Significant sales included: “F8 TRB”, which appeared on the FNE Press Car F8 Tributo in 2020, raising £2,800; “F1 CAL”, which appeared on 6x FNE Press Cars between 2009-2016, including 4x California, 1xCalifornia Handling Speciale, and 1x California T, raising £5,000; and the almost iconic “458 FNE”, which appeared on 4x FNE Press Cars between 2011 - 2014, including 3x 458 Italia and 1x 458 Speciale, which achieved an incredible £11,000.
Iconic Auctioneers also donated their 10% buyer’s fees, bringing the total amount raised for Ben, charity partner of Ferrari North Europe, to £32,211. Funds from the sale will allow Ben to continue to provide life-changing support for families in the automotive industry, including additional educational needs for children and young people, tackling issues such as digital poverty, increasing access to technology to aid learning, provision of additional mentoring and tutoring to help narrow attainment gaps for those struggling at school, as well as meeting basic costs associated with education.
