On Tuesday, 15 February 2011, Shoreham Vehicle Auctions held its second ‘Van’ Tastic sale at its headquarters on the south coast with a record breaking 83% of the 150 vans entered being sold. A number of the vans sold were sourced from The RSPCA, ING Car Lease (UK) Ltd and Balfour Beatty.

Buyer turnout was strong and the majority of the vans sold achieved a price well over 100% of the CAP average – the best being six Citroen Berlingo Enterprise vans, with an average mileage of 89,624, all of which managed an average sale price of 134% of CAP and a 54-plate 88,058-mile Vauxhall Combo 2000 DTI which reached 127% of CAP.
Once again Shoreham Vehicle Auction’s new managing director and vehicle auction expert Alex Wright took to the rostrum to put his mark on the event:

“I have never seen such packed halls as we had on Tuesday! It was unbelievable and the results speak for themselves! We had some great buyers and sellers and once again everyone enjoyed the experience. We are looking forward to the next ‘Van’ Tastic sale in March and furthering Shoreham Vehicle Auctions’ next stage of expansion.”

• 230 vans entered with an 81% conversion rate
• ‘Van’ Tastic sale with 200+ vehicles to be held on second Tuesday of every month

Shoreham Vehicle Auctions held its first ‘Van’ Tastic sale at its headquarters on the south coast with 81% of the 230 vans entered into the sale finding new homes.

With a strong turnout of buyers, bidding was intense and the majority of the vans sold achieved a price well over 100% of the CAP average – the best ones being a 52-plate 76,365 mile Iveco Daily 14-seater minibus which managed a sale price of 122% of CAP and a 58-plate 39,514-mile Vauxhall Movano Tipper which reached 119% of CAP.

Not content with just launching the mega van sale, Shoreham Vehicle Auction’s managing director Alex Wright took to the rostrum to wield his gavel as 230 vans went under the hammer in record time:

“A good auction should be a bit of an experience, and you certainly get that at Shoreham. It’s great to be back on the auction floor and witnessing the realisation of Shoreham Vehicle Auctions’ next stage of expansion first-hand.”
Shoreham Vehicle Auctions has announced the launch of a ‘Van’ Tastic sale for the second Tuesday of every month to complement its monthly van sale which on average offers between 80-100 vans to buyers.
