Mathewsons Auctions

[Jim H]

Good afternoon folks.

Anyone one here had any dealings with them? How does it work? I’ve got a Corrado which I really do need to move on with little hassle as I have so little time.

I’m not interested in eBay or anything like that. So I was thinking perhaps it might be worth a try it at an auction.

For instance do they always collect, is there a charge?
Any advice would be welcome.

Doh

Cheers for the steer Chris. But if anyone has experience of the process - I’d be interested to hear.

Generally they don t collect these days unless it s for the telly .

You fill an online form in , send some photos and price required - they ll come back to you eventually and say yes but we think it s worth £XXXX or no thanks - you then pay them £40 + vat entry fee and get the car to them

Hopefully you ll get it away - if you don t they might put it in their timed auction which is an online auction which runs for a week following the sale - if it fails then, they will either tell you to come and get it , or put it in next sale with a reduced reserve .

If it sells it costs you commission as the seller .

They will try and get a sale over the line for you even if it means them taking less commission.

These guys are outright buyers and they collect

Might be worth putting on here? Im back in the market for a VR6 (my 4th) so could be interested…

A friend of mine put his late Father’s series one Land Rover into them - needed a full restoration - and was more than happy with them. They collected (albeit the vehicle was close to their new place) and paid him out on time.

No issues whatsoever.

Morning folks and many thanks. I’ll look into it.
Andy G, it’s a 2.0 16 V so doubt it would interest you.

Thanks Jim, and good luck with the sale. The market isn't the best for them at the moment, but all you need is a couple of buyers after the colour/history/mileage! Will keep an eye on it if it does go to auction.

Andy, it’s actually a good one, although needs a little work. It’s a satin silver one, I’ve owned it since 2012, I’m the 3rd owner, it’s done about 130 k. It’s not modded in anyway and all the usual stuff that doesn’t work (sunroof) does!

Interior is immaculate. Bodywork of its age but only minor stuff. I’ve cherished it but I don’t have the time or the space anymore. I know it won’t make big bucks, but I don’t want to give it away.
