The centre sold 714 cars and vans across three lanes in its final Wednesday sale of 2015 held yesterday (16 December).

From more than 800 entries, predominantly from manufacturer and fleet vendors, Manheim’s team of auctioneers achieved an overall conversion rate of 86%.

Tim Hudson, managing director for remarketing at Manheim, said: “The whole Bruntingthorpe team should be incredibly proud; this record-breaking result underlines the auction centre’s performance and potential.”
