We care more about
you and your cars.

Why Worldwide Auctioneers

The sale and acquisition of vintage motorcars is our core business and no one is better qualified than us. Our sole focus is on helping you buy and sell great motorcars, whether privately or at auction. We’re unique in having owners who are also chief auctioneers and motorcar specialists, so you deal directly with us and we are absolutely invested in achieving the best result for you. No one knows your motorcar better, because we consigned it, researched it and marketed it. No other company is better placed to properly represent your investment. With Worldwide Auctioneers, you will get our personal attention and you won’t get lost in the crowd.

Integrity

Our auctions are catalogue-based, offering a limited number of higher end consignments. Our emphasis is on quality, not on volume. We don’t limit ourselves to only selling the most expensive cars in the world, but our aim is to ensure that every car that we do consign is the very best of its type. We set out to put great cars together in the room with qualified buyers in a relaxed, convivial setting. At a Worldwide Auctioneers event, you will get our personal attention, and you won’t get lost in the crowd.

Results

We employ expert marketers and dedicate considerable resource to publicity. Our events and consignments are promoted nationally, internationally and locally. We maintain one of the most comprehensive databases of collectors, enthusiasts and investors in the industry, and we are proud to call many of them friends. Worldwide Auctioneers has been privileged to have sold a very diverse selection of great motorcars over the years and we’re delighted to have broken a few world records along the way.

Connection

Nobody knows their customers better than Worldwide Auctioneers. Whether it’s at a major Concours, national club meet, competing on a tour or rally or just enjoying a barn full of cars in the country, we’re out there in the marketplace with you. We want to connect with you! Please contact us via email, phone or social media and let’s set up a time to meet and talk.
