A short time ago the well-known and highly respected classic car insurers Lancaster Insurance, launched the 'Classic Rumble' challenge.

In short, the 'Classic Rumble' brought the two restoration experts, and TV personalties, Ant Anstead and Mike Brewer head-to-head in a competition to restore, or build, a car that will be auctioned through Silverstone Auctions at the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show in November at the NEC.

The proceeds from the sale of the two cars will go to the Marie Crawford Boyd Foundation and Harrison's Fund.

I had the pleasure of spending an hour or so with Ant's car a couple of days ago shooting his PR shots for him.

Clearly, I'm hoping that the sale of both cars at the auction raises a huge amount of money for both of the charities - I obviously hope Ant triumphs in the 'Classic Rumble'!
