World record 10,000% CAP Clean achieved at Manheim Auctions, A1 Knottingley

July 21, 2010 - PRLog -- Who would have thought that a French favourite from the last century would set a world record 10,000% CAP Clean at auction? The car in question is a 1989 Citroën 2CV with a CAP Clean value of £10 which sold recently at Manheim Auctions, A1 Knottingley for £1,000. The seven-owner Citröen with no V5 or MOT, entered by The Co-operative Motor Group was bought via Simulcast.

David Parnham, Auction Centre Manager said: “The Citröen 2CV is full of character and a firm favourite with people of all ages. Although much sought after I never expected it to sell for such a price. Its appearance in the auction hall certainly brought a smile to everyone’s face!”
