SELL AND BID ONLINE IN OUR TIMED AUCTIONS

Back in 2020 three life long classic car collectors set out to offer an unrivalled and unique auction experience for fellow enthusiasts, developing a new and exciting concept to offer, what is still, the North West’s only fixed venue classic car and motorcycle auction facility.

Four years later and with over 2,500 Lots sold to over 1,500 Buyers in over 20 countries -  we’re going from strength to strength!

We’ve always been focussed on delivering a market leading business, offering a complete service for classic car and motorcycle enthusiasts. With that in mind we recognise that occasionally our Live Auction may not be suitable and so we are delighted to offer regular Timed Online Auctions, for when you may prefer an immediate service or you’d simply prefer your classic car or motorcycle to remain with you throughout the process.

How does it work?

We like to keep things nice and simple, with a system developed for car enthusiasts, by car enthusiasts.

Each Thursday afternoon our weekly on-line auction will start, with live bidding for 7 days, finishing the following Thursday afternoon from 1pm. If you are the highest bidder at the end of the auction, and the reserve has been met, you’ve just bought yourself a new classic!

We offer a simple and transparent fee structure with a Buyer’s Fee of 6% plus VAT (subject to a minimum of £600 plus VAT) and no charges for the Seller. Once the Buyer’s Fee has been paid, the Buyer receives the Seller’s details to arrange payment and collection direct, with the Seller simply receiving the full hammer price directly from the Buyer on collection.

In the week before the Auction, all lots will be listed as ‘Coming Soon’, giving you the chance to see what we have coming up; and if you don’t want to wait for the auction to start we have a ‘Make an Offer’ service during this time where the Seller will have the option to accept an offer and complete a sale straight away.

We offer a customer focussed service, working closely with Sellers and Buyers throughout the process; from a free valuation and comprehensive listing guide to assisting with finance, insurance and transport. With our simple format we can have a car, motorcycle or cherished plate listed and on sale in as little as a few days.

To ensure that all Auction entries reach our existing global audience and beyond, we are committed to an active marketing programme with every car, motorcycle and cherished plate enjoying the spotlight across our successful social media platforms and industry press… with a little help from Paul Cowland.

And that’s it!

A simple, straightforward way to buy and sell classic cars, motorcycles and cherished number plates from home.
