Paul Rees of Centurion Racing said:
"Remembrance Day seemed like a very fitting day to auction these items for Help for Heroes. I hope that race fans and supporters of our armed services will dig deep and help us to raise as much money as possible for the Charity through the auction. I'd like to thank everyone who donated these items, or gave their time or skills for this wonderful cause. As a team we will be doing more for the Charity next year."
