Charlie ran his own auction house in Woburn for over 25 years and has conducted a wide variety of auctions ranging from antiques, commercial and residential properties, through to vintage cars and Intellectual Property.

The very first lot that he sold – in 1968 – was…a pen of chickens!

Last month he sold a 1903 Mercedes Simplex for $12.1 million in America – a world record for a pre-1930’s car.

He has just completed his autobiography SOLD! which is due to be published in June.
