THE Auction Group has opened a new 6,000-car storage facility at Donington Park racetrack in the West Midlands.

The seven-acre facility is protected round the clock by state-of-the-art CCTV, monitored surveillance and security patrols.

Director Tim Charlesworth said: 'We have already had approaches from fleet operators and others such as car rental companies, who are continually faced with the headache of finding storage in a central location.'

The storage area is based off Junction 24 of the M1 and is adjacent to East Midlands Airport.
