Classic cars are among the assets of Renault dealer AC Williams which administrators are planning to auction.

The Lincolnshire group represented Renault at two sites in Grantham and Ancaster, both of which closed after it went into administration just before Christmas with the loss of 23 jobs.

The entire assets of the business will be sold online today for receivers Begbies Traynor by industrial auctioneers CJM Asset Management, including machinery, equipment and tools alongside the collection of Renault motors which include a fully restored 1972 Alpine Renault A110 rally car, a 1994 Renault Megane rally car, a 1982 Alpine Renault A310 sports coupe and number plate ‘STL 1’.

Also being auctioned off are 11 vans, two Scenics, a recovery truck, a car transporter trailer and £50,000 worth of garage equipment.
