THE MARKET - Daily Online Classic Car Auctions Reviews 

I purchased a Dolomite Sprint from here in January. The car was advertised as a 1980 UK produced and registered car. Shortly after purchase it was pointed out to me that the car had LHD wipers. After purchasing a Heritage Certificate and contacting some previous UK owners it turned out the car was in fact a 1978 French exported car. The car returned to the UK in 1980 and was converted to RHD rather poorly. The car was then re-sold by Bonhams as I was completely dissatisfied. It was sold by with an honest description this time and sold for a lot less than what I paid. Unfortunately I was left to stand the £5,000 + loss for my honesty. Don't rely on an HPI report and don't trust Bonhams, not even they do basic due diligence. The previous owner denies any knowledge even though he is no stranger to the marque, a specialist in other words. For anyone who is interested both the January 2023 sale and June 2023 can still be found on The Market by Bonhams website. Be warned!
Thank for your reply. The car was falsely advertised. It wasn't what you described. I re-sold the car with you for this reason as I felt there was no alternative. The car was then sold with a completely honest description and a full report from a specialist. I lost over £5k for being honest. Do Bonhams think that is fair and ethical?

This is the first Trustpilot review I've ever written. I'd like to thank Mark Livesey for sticking with us when circumstances beyond Bonhams' strict control left us without a buyer post auction. Mark took personal and direct action to rectify the situation. It is just vanishingly rare that companies back their customers in this fashion. Reputations are earned when things are tough, rather than simple. That builds trust and deserves loyalty and I have no doubt we'll be back.

In my experience most companies are fine to deal with when everything goes smoothly. It is when things go wrong that you see the difference between a good business and a bad one. Bonhams were not just good they were great. They did everything they possibly could to help me. I would like to thank Mark Livesey in particular for dedicating a significant amount of time to this and repeatedly going above and beyond my expectations to help. I would not hesitate to recommend them. They deserve more than 5 stars and If I was able to give them 6 stars I would !!!

From initial discussions to final sale the Bonhams Team consistently provided an excellent and friendly service.

They demonstrated tremendous knowledge of the market and managed the whole sale process really efficiently.

I am very grateful to the Bonhams team for helping me sell my car. The car did not make its reserve, but the Bonhams team negotiated a fair price with the top bidder. Also they arranged for a professional photographer who took some stunning photos and the listing narrative could not have been better. Overall an extremely good experience. Thank you.

Excellent communication from the outset by Paul Hegarty which proved to be great advice on how to best sell my Aston Martin.
The results were worthy of feedback as Bonhams provided a faultless service.

When selling my late fathers car the Market showed compassion as well as offering expert advice too. The process was extremely easy and they were always on hand to answer any questions or queries. Would recommend.

Prompt attention from the get-go and excellent communications throughout. John almost became part of the family, so anxious was he to sell our vehicle - which he eventually did! Great team to work with, to be highly recommended.

Had a VW Beetle to sell and was recommended The Market . Dealt with a guy called Mark. The service from begin to end was brilliant. Mark updated me at ever stage could not be happier which included me getting a lot more for my car than l was expecting.

From start to finish the service and communication was excellent . Would definitely recommend.

Great service great customer service and done a brilliant job with selling our Bentley best on the market

A truly fantastic company, smooth transactions from the start, they successfully sold 3 cars of mine within 1 week and at good money. In particular my contact Freddie Woodd was simply flawless with his help in selling my cars and dealing with potential customers etc. It is not often that one can leave 5/5 review with not a single fault to report on, there is nothing they can do to improve, a fantastic company. The Market By Bonhams is simply an unrivalled game changer specialising in auctioning collectible cars. I will continue to use this company indefinitely.

Easy process for selling with lots of support from Bonhams - thank you

The sale of my chopper bike was handled professionally great video taken and good price obtained.

Thank you, your concierge service made what I thought would be a dreadful process, a simple and easy sale. Communication was great from start to finish.

Can't fault The Market, a great experience from start to finish, as a repeat user I shan't hesitate to use them again when selling my cars

Great service, great communication. Will certainly use again

Very uncomplicated and professional, yet kind and helpful auction and pick-up process!

Excellent advice and communication from the team. Caring personable and professional. The perfect combination.
