Manheim Auctions, Rotherham, recently hosted a Spanish-themed auction of 175 vehicles on behalf of Santander Consumer Finance.

More than 150 buyers, 60 of which joined online via Simulcast, ensured that every vehicle was sold and with an average of 100.9% of Cap Clean.

And in celebration of the Santander relationship, those attending were treated to flamenco dancers and Spanish cuisine.

David Dockerty, relationship manager of Santander Consumer Finance, said: “This recent sale at Rotherham reinforces our faith in Manheim’s ability and experience in ensuring the successful implementation of our remarketing strategy.”

In January Santander Consumer Finance signed a new three-year solus contract with Manheim Auctions until December 2011 for the remarketing of up to 10,000 vehicles through Manheim’s auction centres in Bristol, Colchester, Rotherham and Washington.
