Steam Packet to sponsor Classic TT auction

The Steam Packet Company has been announced as a partner of this years Classic TT and a key sponsor to one of its events.

The organisation will provide support for the Classic TT auction which will see a range of vintage motoring artefacts and memorabilia go under the hammer at the occasion in August.

Steam Packet chief executive, Mark Woodward, feels the inaugural auction can further enhance the Island's pedigree as the road racing capital of the world.

The auction is being run by Charterhouse Auctioneers, which reported in December last year the estimated collective reserve price for all the items on offer stood at almost £500,000.
