Outstanding attention to detail
I sold a classic car and three F1 Paddock bikes through them and despite the value variance each item received full attention and care. Service was outstanding and communication excellent.. couldn’t speak more highly of them.

Great experience ,the only thing which could improve service is having an Out of Hours or longer opening hours ,perhaps with some Saturday cover for delivering and collecting cars
Does what it says on the tin
Great photos; detailed and authentic description; plus prompt response to questions. Payment, handover and collection were all incredibly smooth and unfussy. And most importantly: the car is exactly as advertised.
Pleased with professional service

I was speaking with Paul for 12 months and was indecisive as to whether to put the vehicle to auction
I’m very glad I did as it went extremely well and Paul’s estimation was extremely accurate.
I strongly recommend this company

Excellent Concierge Service
This is an excellent service. I was able to sell my vehicle by using the Concierge service. The car, which was extremely well loved, was taken in, cared for and appreciated. Considerable time was taken with the photographs and description and at all stages I was consulted with and updated. When the car sold I was paid directly by the buyer and all in all it was an entirely hassle free , well conducted affair. Many thanks to all involved and I am delighted to know that this wonderful car has found a fabulous new home.

The extra mile
Good service all round from the car prep to the copywriting and, especially, the photos. Will repeat with other vehicles as appropriate.

Bonhams were very easy to deal with
Bonhams were very easy to deal with; Mark Livesey came back quickly with an estimate following my email enquiry. I then just drove the car to Abingdon, left it with Bonhams, then paid the concierge fee and waited for the auction to proceed. Eventual sale price was upper end of the Bonhams estimate, so I have no complaints. Buyer paid the day following the auction, so all in all a very painless experience.

Very easy to use
Very easy to use, I took advantage of th Concierge service which meant I could just drop the car off, it was then valeted and photographed. Once sold the buyer transferred the money promptly and the the deal was very "hands off".

Bonhams Auctioneers Excelence
Bonhams Auctioneers have been a revelation, highly knowledgeable, professional & effient in handling the sale of my much loved 2006 Jaguar XKR. Having owned & driven the car for nearly 20yrs, Bonhams, & particularly Paul Hagerty, were particularly sensitive & in turn hugely instrumental in managing negotiations to a successful conclusion. kind regards Richard Steele

Very easy and straightforward …
Dealing with Bonhams has been very easy and straightforward. All of my questions were answered promptly. They were helpful and friendly from the get go and even checked in with me shortly before the auction concluded. The professional photos were amazing and I received a link to download them via email very promptly. The whole process was done with the least amount of stress and with no seller commission, they were the very best people to sell our special car. Thanks must go especially to Paul for his time, expertise and patience, not to mention his understanding of the attachment to our long-term ownership of our very special car. Thank you Bonhams, the auction was a great success.
