Classic Cars, Motorcycles and Automobilia

We have been holding classic and vintage car and motorcycle auctions for 18 years. What originally started out with one auction a year has grown to one off auctions of collections, and eight specialist sales every year. These include three auctions at the popular Footman James Car Shows at the Royal Bath and West, and our Auction at the Sherborne Classic and Supercar Show at Sherborne Castle.

All of our auctions use live internet bidding platforms to ensure that every lot, whether it is worth £20 or £500,000, reaches the widest possible market and sells for the best price possible. In the run up to an auction we receive 100’s of emails requesting further information for lots in the sale. Attached to these email replies, we regularly send well over 1,000 digital images, such is the huge interest generated in our auctions.

Over the years we have sold millions and millions of pounds of cars and motorcycles, and one classic car auction totalled just under £500,000. The July Auction at Sherborne Classic and Super Cars has entries totalling over £1 Million. Highlights of the vehicles we have sold are an Aston Martin DB6, which was garaged stored near Reading and having not turned a wheel for over 30 years, for £150,000, a fabulous Rolls Royce Phantom II Sedanca de Ville £88,000 and a Mini Cooper S, from a deceased estate near Leicester, which was original but in a poor condition for an amazing £33,000.
