SR Timber is entering a team for a charity car rally to Monte Carlo this September, which will take them through ten European countries in just four days in a road-legal car that costs less than £500 to buy.

Shaun Revill and Duncan Hargreaves from the company have signed up for the Pavestone Rally, which is raising as much money as possible for two charities: the Rainy Day Trust and the Teenage Cancer Trust.

The pair have bought a car on eBay and will decorate it and then drive it, whilst in fancy dress, to Monaco for 7th September.

The route will take them from Dover to Belgium and Luxembourg before heading through Germany and Switzerland to Liechtenstein. From there, they will go through Austria and head over the Stelvio Pass into Italy before driving back to France and finishing in Monte Carlo.

Duncan added that he is confident that Team SR Timber will raise much more than the £1,500 minimum that organisers hope that each team can raise. Recently, SR Timber raised £5,000 for the British Heart Foundation, after two members of staff climbed Mount Kilimanjaro last year.
