• ADT Auctions has clinched an exclusive sale of Royal Mail Parcel Force vehicles and associated equipment.

The sale — which is being held at the Royal Mail Parcel Force Transport Engineering Centre in Earlstree Road, Corby, on 8 September at 11:00hrs — will feature trucks, vans and cars mainly between three and seven years old.

It is being co-ordinated by ADT's Measham commercial vehicle centre, and more than 300 lots will go under the hammer.

David Church, ADT's director, truck and plant, says the decision to hold such a high profile sale reflects a determined approach by Royal Mail Parcel Force to market its used commercial vehicles aggressively to maximum effect.

"We are providing a full onsite auction facility on the day. Every vehicle will be driven before the rostrum when it is offered for sale, as opposed to being shown from a static position, meaning the vehicles will be shown to their best advantage," he says.

"We are sure of a very wellattended and successful sale, demand is expected to come from all over the country."

Buyers will have the opportunity to view the stock which will include 28-tonne tractor units, 7.5-tonne box vans, 3.5tonne parcel vans, cars, trailers and vehicle spares and equipment, from 09:0017:00hrs on 7 September and on the morning of the sale.

Interested buyers can get full details of the entry from the ADT Commercial Vehicle Hotline on 061-223 9179, or from the heavy commercial centre at ADT Measham on (0530) 70322.
