BCA continues its push into Europe

British Car Auctions continued its expansion into Europe last week by opening their third auction site in France. BCA Nimes:  1945 Avenue Mar Juin 30900 Nîmes,  is a 5 acre trade only site that will operate alongside its existing French operations in Lyon and Bonneuil(near Paris).  We are looking at the catalogues to see if we can justify the expense of a fact finding mission and are dying to ascertain if your average French punter puts up with the school dinner buffet ?  We suspect otherwise.
