Tuesday is not officially a viewing day but prospective purchasers are welcome to inspect vehicles, although we cannot guarantee the time of their arrival.
WITHDRAWN OR NOT FORWARD LOTS: Despite our best endeavours to ensure that all lots catalogued come forward for sale we are at the mercy of individual vendors some of whom regrettably do not always send the lots entered. This inevitably causes frustration and annoyance to prospective customers who may have travelled long distances for a particular lot. To avoid such disappointment we recommend that you make a phone call to check the availability for any particular “one off” lot before setting out.
A BUYERS’ PREMIUM of 9% (incl. VAT at the standard rate) will be added to the purchase price of all lots at this sale.
BUYERS’ NUMBERS: All prospective purchasers are requested to register with the Auctioneers prior to the sale when they will be given a Buyer’s Number to enable bidding and assist the cashiering arrangements. The Auctioneers reserve the right to request a deposit of £500 from customers not known to them upon registration.
