A FOLDING caravan that was put up for auction in Darlington has been sold for £600.

The vehicle was donated to Oxfam shop manager Marion Cowper after she issued a challenge to people to give her unusual items to sell.

The money raised from the sale of the 13ft, two-berth caravan will help Oxfam's work.

Mrs Cowper said: "The caravan was a wonderful donation and I knew I could sell it.

"I did say that the public of Darlington are marvellous and they proved it."
