Telephone bidding is a great way to bid by proxy during the auction. We will call you several lots before the one you want to bid on, then we will talk you through the auction, updating you on the current bid and bidding for you when you tell us to. Phone bidding costs £10.00 and requires a deposit of £500 (per car) or £1000 (per car) for bids over £10,000 which is fully refundable should your bid not be successful. To register for phone bidding you will need to fill out our Classic Car Telephone and Commission Bidding Form click here . Once you have completed the form you will need to post, fax or email it back to us then we will contact you regarding your deposit.

Just tell us the lot you want to bid on and the maximum amount you would like to bid. We will then bid for you during the auction, up until either you win the lot or we reach your maximum bid.Commission bidding requires a deposit of £500 (per car) or £1000 (per car) for bids over £10,000 which is fully refundable should your bid not be successful.
