BCA continues its push into Europe

MD — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 13:06:20 +0000

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.

BCA currently runs European auction centres in Spain(4 Centres),Sweden(1),Portugal(3),Nederlands(1),Italy(1),Germany(8),France(3),Denmark(1), Belgium(1),Austria(1) Although it is telling that almost 80% of its 4 billion per year turnover comes from Its base in the U.K. Of its French operations Bonneuil remains the busiest, running auctions on Mondays and Tuesday with a Premium sale taking place twice monthly on a Thursday. Lyon runs every Wednesday and Saturday and for the moment Nimes is scheduled for Tuesdays only. A visitor from the U.K would struggle to come to terms with amount of stock available, with European auctions regularly only fielding 50-80 units, however Closed Internet sales are proving popular with the bigger dealers. The tax free export sale in Barneveld in the Nederlands is targeted for and busy with Export buyers from eastern Europe. We are saving up for a trip abroad to see if we can find out more about the attitude amongst the trade in Europe. If anyone can update us with any first hand news for any European Auctions and save us a trip we would love to hear from you.

Market Snapshot

MD — Sun, 15 May 2011 19:16:09 +0000

Weekly Market Snapshot

This week our contributors have mostly been down south and in the midlands. We have not had any attendees further north or in Scotland. We also have information relating to general sales only and have no information from any Top car or premium sales, so cannot comment on the market for heavier metal at the moment . As has been the case recently buyers have been surprised by the lack of cars selling at the block with a higher amount of cars having to be bought provisionally.

Auction attendance numbers seem to be down which is making it harder for auctioneers. Sellers are holding out for high prices, but increasingly ,as buyers we are under more and more pressure to buy cars well under book. Some industry figures released in the last week suggest that the trade is showing recovery but the trade is a big interconnected world and when parts of it are up others must be down.

Petrol engined cars of moderate displacement are not suffering disproportionately to the rest of the trade, but big engined lumps over 4 years old are getting hit hard.

Disclaimer: Our market snapshots are a compilation of the thoughts of several of our contributors. Our data is collated from figures received from auctions we have attended, or from sales figures we have been party to. We occasionally provide example prices as an indicator but do not disclose exact auction data. In no way do we claim to be able to give accurate data for the state of the market and our guides should be regarded as a work of informed opinion only.

Winners and Losers

MD — Thu, 05 May 2011 11:52:44 +0000

With petrol prices currently going head to head with cocaine if you are running a big v8 then you are probably on a loser(or a scooter) Hybrid cars particularly the Civic ima had a major jump in price in the last 4 months and regularly smashed top book prices, indicators are that they are now levelling back out. The point of this post will be to let you know what cars are in short supply and sought after and what cars you need to be baleing out of and why .
