London, 20 May 2024 – With the remarkable support of Iconic Auctioneers, Ferrari North Europe successfully raised over £32,000 for charity at an auction featuring Ferrari North Europe Press Car registration number plates. The event took place at SupercarFest at Sywell Park on Saturday, 18 May.
Significant highlights of the auction included the sale of the registration plate “F8 TRB,” which graced the FNE Press Car F8 Tributo in 2020 and garnered £2,800. The “F1 CAL” plate, seen on six FNE Press Cars between 2009 and 2016—comprising four California models, one California Handling Speciale, and one California T—raised £5,000. The nearly iconic “458 FNE” plate, which was featured on four FNE Press Cars between 2011 and 2014, including three 458 Italia models and one 458 Speciale, achieved an astounding £11,000.
Iconic Auctioneers generously contributed their 10% buyer’s fees, increasing the total amount raised to £32,211. The proceeds will benefit Ben, the charity partner of Ferrari North Europe, enabling them to continue providing essential support for families within the automotive industry. These funds will aid in addressing additional educational needs for children and young people, tackling issues such as digital poverty by increasing access to technology for learning, and providing mentoring and tutoring to help narrow attainment gaps for those struggling in school. The funds will also assist in meeting basic educational costs.
