NIK ASKINS

Operations Director

My entire working life has been spent in the classic vehicle auction industry, where I have worked in every department from operations and client services to marketing and finance.

As a go to source for vehicle paperwork, I have resolved many issues facing classic car owners including; successfully reuniting a 1974 Ferrari Dino 246 GT with its original registration number; retaining a private registration from a vehicle whose whereabouts were unknown; re-registered vehicles with export markers; and obtaining replacement documents.

As well as the day-to-day functions of business, I have managed everything from small-scale event stands to full-sized auctions with drinks receptions in both physical venues and marquees.

1985 Vauxhall Nova 1.2 given to me by my cousin, the fuel gauge didn’t work after about half way but it was a good little starter to run around in

My scale model of James Bond’s Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger, with fully working ejector seat, revolving number plate, etc.

I once had the opportunity to buy a private number with ‘N1K’ in, which went well with the way I have always spelt my name

I already own a miniature version, but James Bond’s Aston Martin DB5. I’m not fussy so either Connery’s, Brosnan’s or Craig’s…
