ON-LINE REALITY CHECK ON HOW MUCH BOUGHT WHAT IN MARCH

Here is a full range of the most noteworthy classics sold at UK and EU mainland auctions January through to March 2025, and therefore very latest price-valued by their new owners personally competing for cars at sale venues, remotely by telephone or mouse, and on-line in 'Live' or 'Timed Out' internet auctions, where all cars offered could be physically viewed at an auction centre.

You will see, collector-grade automobiles of all sizes and values bought at auction have been listed under makes and models in the order of the prices paid for them. You can scroll down through them to find how much currently buys which classics, and also what was their spec and condition when knocked down to successful bidders.

Premium-inclusive sums paid at auction have usually been less than their over-insured values with retailers advertised 'asking prices' rarely achieved.

There have always been auctioned exceptions, and despite HM Misgovernment trashing the enterprise economy, several world record for model prices listed confirm that there is still life on the Planet Classics. For the prices below record just how much those in the market to buy are actually prepared to pay for cars in the real world of ‘now’.

Some nostalgic bemusement is provided by pre-pandemic prices paid for classics at auction in 2020 and earlier, before Net Zero phobia became law, which may be accessed at the bottom of the page. Good surfing! RH-E
