Manheim has launched a programme of weekly evening auctions at its Birmingham auction centre in Darlaston aimed at the general public and trade buyers.

The auctions take place each Wednesday evening from 6:00pm to 8:30pm.

The first two evening auctions in Birmingham took place on the June 11 and 18 and saw bids on more than 100 cars with an average selling price of just under £1,400.

Simon Wells, Manheim auction centre manager, said: "I knew there would be demand in Birmingham for an evening auction.

"The attendances and results achieved at the first two auctions were very encouraging and give us a good foundation to develop and grow this programme in the future."
