Mo Price, who died aged 63 at Severn Hospice Shrewsbury in August after a battle with cancer, has left her refurbished 1965 mark 1 Austin Mini to the charity.

The car, which has been lovingly modified, is being sold online through Severn Hospice’s ebay shop with potential buyers having until October 14 to place a bid.

All proceeds from the sale will go towards funding the care and support provided by Severn Hospice to people across Shropshire and Mid Wales who are living with incurable illnesses.

Mo, of Upton Magna, had regular visits from the hospice’s community-based clinical nurse specialists before she was admitted onto the wards at the charity’s site in Bicton Heath.

After Mo died her two sons, Nigel and Reed Beers, were keen to ensure that the Mini raised as much as possible for the Hospice.

Reed, of Dawley, said: “The hospice was great. They learned mum’s ways and when she couldn’t do it herself any longer they continued it her way.

“I can’t say enough, they were amazing. They are all angels on earth.

“Donating the Mini is a small gesture compared to the help the hospice really needs. If people have the chance they should help the cause.”

Lucy Proctor, Severn Hospice’s community fundraising manager, said: “We are so pleased that our staff were here for Mo and her family when they needed our support.

“We are incredibly grateful to Mo, Reed and Nigel for allowing us to sell this wonderful car to raise much-needed funds for our hospice.

“The money generated from the sale will help us carry on providing loving care to people like Mo during their greatest time of need.”

The Mini has 74,000 miles on the clock, a full MOT to August 2012 and is tax exempt.
