The advert I placed in Car and Classic found the right buyer for my car which appealed to a limited market. The Car and Classic website appeals to real Car enthusiasts which believe is a great strength. The fact that it is free to advertise on the site is also very helpful for seller. I will continue to use the site to both buy and sell.

Richard Day was an OUTSTANDING liaison and made the process of selling our WR1 simple and effective via the Car & Classic online Auction. Not only that we also received excellent service from the whole team involved with the sale, this included the content writers and photographer!

Sold my BMW e92 330i within a week of advertising on car & classic. Easy to upload and edit.
Would definitely recommend this site & will use again.
And best of all the advert was free.

Achieved the sale after 29 years of ownership of my classic Saab within 4 days of placing the advert. Initially uncertain which platform to use but Car & Classic proved to be an efficient and highly effective method. Would use them again if I ever decide to sell my classic Jaguar.

Excellent service from Car and Classic, my TR6 sold within four hours of the advert going live.

I had a fantastic experience with Chandler from Car and Classic. The service was impeccable, super organised and made me feel as though I had zero concerns. It was my first auction with C&C and I would definitely do it again.

A big compliment to Car & Classic: It is by far the best platform, very clearly structured and user-friendly. The sales and payment process was always transparent, fair and secure. I will certainly do business again.

Car & Classic off a great service. I sold my car in less than 2 weeks

I was delighted with car and classic - good ad, good comms and a fair price for my car.

I would like to recommend anybody who is thinking of selling their car to get in touch with Sam Neill who talked me through the whole process and kept in touch throughout the process.
I cannot speak more highly of Sam who was very knowledgeable of the whole process and was with me through to the end which ended late on a Friday night
A big thank you Sam

Really professional group of people, even after the auction didn’t sell my car there agent found a buyer for the car within hours of auction end, very happy

Everyone involved in getting my car ready for sale were absolutely fantastic and very kind. I could not recommend this company more.

AVOID

For many, Christmas is a time of reflection and looking back on the year just gone.

My reflection has been of a journey on which I deeply regret starting, with Car & Classic and especially Tuned Imports of Rotterdam which caused me a huge amount of upset and stress.

Whilst Car & Classic have eventually refunded my buyers premium, trying to get anyone there to act on my behalf was like walking through treacle, especially one staff member who had to be pressured into telephone calls as he only wanted to email and constantly reminded me I had accepted the car thus it was out of his hands.

The owner of Tuned Imports is even worse. A man who only seems able to reply to emails at 2am, and finally ceased to answer any at all. Operating a very dubious business, he has been proven to LIE about the condition of the car he sells (I have proof of this as shown below).

When a fellow bidder asked specifically about there being any rust or corrosion the answer was
'Both the body and undercarriage are free of any rust issues'

This was the point I decided this was the car I want! I won the car and went over to pick it up, all the way from UK to Rotterdam.
The vehicle appeared to be in acceptable condition, and I was pressured by an employee, to accept it as so on the car & Classic app, which means not only do I send the money, I pretty much loose any option to reject.
Unfortunately on return and having the car inspected by a reputable Mercedes classic specialist the reality was shocking. Massive holes abound, which means a bill of around £3500 to fix the car properly. Tuned Imports have no interest in paying the money and tell me in Holland this job is a few hundred euros! Yes it probably is when you operate a dodgy business selling dud vehicles.

After numerous emails to Tuned Imports they eventually agreed to allow me to return the car BUT still would charge me 9% for the export tax he paid. At this point the stress this has caused me has ground me down and I accept. But what a surprise when I give him some options for returning the car he yet again ignores my emails as does his employee and even worse my new contact at Car & Classic.

I have a whole trail of emails I would be happy to share to prove this case, and most importantly I have screenshots showing the blatant LIE about the condition of this vehicle.

Ultimately my message is, AVOID Tuned Imports. They are a dubious business whom I could never ever trust. They take a small number of ‘lifestyle’ photographs which is around a third of the amount Car & Classic would take, and these photographs are a ‘lifestyle’ photo taken from a distance to avoid showing any detail.

AVOID buying a car from auction, unless you are 100% confident as to the description, and accept that especially in the case of Car & Classic that if you have pressed the ‘accept’ button you will have ZERO comeback and they really have no interest in acting on your behalf to act as mediators between vendor and buyer.

I have now had to keep the vehicle and will need to spend a minimum of £12000 to get it repaired.

I have used car and classic many times to sell and have recommended it many times to people looking to buy. It’s a genuine site for enthusiasts which is great. All good Kevin.

Very helpful and answered emails quickly.

Great service overall and obtained a good price.

End to end from joe stocktons initial support and valuation and through the registration process the team at C&C where very helpful. Portal as we all know as users of the site is slick so adding details was a breeze. Photographer was local and super efficient. To top it all car was sold bang on reserve which I was delighted with. My first experience of selling on line and pleased I chose C&C

Excellent prompt service.
Kept me fully informed during the process.
All the staff I dealt with were extremely knowledgeable and nothing was to much trouble for them.
Thanks again
Greg and Team

Everything was fantastic especially help from John James
