Additionally, the 1993 Rover 216 Honda cabriolet driven by the Bangers 4 Ben team of Louise Baker and Rachel Murray is going up for charity auction at Automechanika Birmingham. The car returns to its home in the Midlands for the auction to raise further funds for the charity that supports staff in the automotive industry.
