Description
This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at the Warwickshire Event Centre on Saturday the 7th of December, Warwickshire Event Centre, CV31 1XN.
The chance to acquire a 1953 split-screen Morris Minor, offered by our generous benefactor Camilla Vickers, whilst helping her wonderful charity, Health Pitch, with the opportunity to enjoy a light-hearted operatic performance with music of your choice by Francesca Lanza and members of the Opera Group at a venue of your choice
The daring concept of 'Jukebox Opera' is the brainchild of Wiltshire-based Camilla Vickers who, having experienced the profoundly positive impact that her friend Francesca’s high-quality opera singing had on her mother as she was dying of cancer, set up the Davina Fund so that others could also benefit. From this grew Health Pitch, a Registered Charity dedicated to restoring human connections by enhancing the lives of those who are vulnerable, isolated or in need of care.
So, in what we believe is a first at any classic car auction, the buyer of Camilla's Morris Minor will have the option of a bespoke performance by Francesca with fellow singers and musicians at your choice of venue be it the local Care Home, a charity fund-raising event, or even a special birthday
The car itself is an early Series 2 'split-screen' in need of restoration having been parked for a number of years, but with a history file dating back to 1959
Currently not running, in 'project' condition, our vendor Camilla will attempt to have it running by the time it reaches the sale
This combined Lot is offered at No Reserve and all proceeds, including Iconic Auctioneers Premiums and Commissions, will be donated in full to 'Health Pitch'
Internationally-acclaimed flautist and soprano, Francesca Lanza, will perform a short piece prior to the sale of this Charity Lot at the Warwickshire Exhibition Centre on December 7th.
