Colne-based company XLCR Vehicle Management Ltd has generously obliged to loan one of their Ferrari 360 Modena sports cars as a prize in an upcoming charity auction to be held later this month.

The event supports Cancer Research with a particular focus on research in to children's cancers. In the past seven years over £350,000 has been raised by this group to support this cause.
As soon as Colne businessman and XLCR director Shaun O’Neill heard about the event, he couldn’t wait to offer his support, donating the £100,000 sports car for a day as an auction prize. Commenting on the generous gift he said, "I sincerely hope people dig deep into their pockets and bid hard to win this prize. It will be a rare opportunity for whoever has the winning bid and we hope this will help raise a lot of money for this worthwhile cause."
