Now, we have launched our biggest ask yet – you may have read that the van is due to be sold at Bonhams auction in December. The museum is well known for its ability to work hard and raise large sums of money – after all we delivered the statue in just 2 and half years – however, 3 months may just prove a little tricky. If, like us, you believe that the van should come home to Walmington on Sea then we are going to need a very big push indeed. We are hopeful that one or maybe several generous benefactors will come forward to help us with a loan to enable us to raise enough money to buy the van. Then over the next few years, we will raise the sufficient money needed to pay the loan(s) back. As it will go to auction, the exact figure required is as yet unknown, however, it is estimated that it will sell for £20,000 - £30,000.
