Kerching! Winning six-figure amount for sunken Seat Toledo

A MASSIVE surge in bids in the online charity auction for the wrecked Seat Toledo has closed tonight (Thursday, March 20, 2014) with the top offer being set at a whopping £101,100.

The online auction on eBay closed at 8.10pm with car owner Hubert Zajaczkowski selling the car – which remained submerged on the flooded road to the “island” of Muchelney for two-and-a-half months – in aid of a flood-related appeal for the Somerset Levels.

But the winning bid of £101,100 is a massive amount of money and hopefully it will not prove to be a hoax.

A total of 123 bids were made for the 1999 Toledo which Hubert, an apprentice at Yeovil-firm AgustaWestland, bought a couple of years ago for £600.

Hubert had to abandon the car in floodwater on Christmas Eve and was only able to recover the vehicle last week.
