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.

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.
