About Us
Welcome to BCA. British Car Auctions has been bringing together
buyers and sellers for more than 60 years. Starting in 1964 as
Southern Counties Car Auctions, we were one of the first companies
to let people across the UK buy and sell a wide range of cars at
auction, from budget runarounds to exotic imports.
At our first auction we sold 14 cars and generated proceeds of
£2,300; today we sell more than 12,000 vehicles a week in physical
auctions and over the internet. Now part of BCA Europe, we have an
annual turnover of over £4 billion and are Europe’s largest vehicle
remarketing company.
Our business is to handle the sale of vehicles on behalf of one
group of customers – our vendors – and sell to another group – our
buyers. Most of our customers are businesses: fleet operators;
manufacturers; finance and leasing houses; rental companies;
national authorities; and professionals from across the retail and
wholesale motor industry.
However, we don’t just serve the trade: BCA is a great place for
anyone to buy or sell. Typically we have more than 10,000 vehicles
available at any time – the biggest selection in the UK – from
nearly new cars to heavy goods vehicles. For sellers our Sure Sell
scheme offers competitive terms, dedicated support and a special
sale section at every centre.
Whether you’re new to vehicle auctions or a veteran, we hope you
enjoy looking around our site and that it helps you make the most
of our wide range of services.
