The no. 1 in Europe for used vehicles
auctions
British Car Auctions has been
organising used car auctions for more than 60 years in
Britain.
We are the European
leader, with almost 850 000 vehicles sold per year in our 38
centres in 12 countries: UK, France, Belgium, Portugal, Spain,
Germany, Holland, Denmark, Poland, Romania, Sweden, Italy.
In France, the BCAuto Enchères subsidiary
(agreement no. 2002-294) organises and carries out auctions in 3
auction centres in Paris, Lyon and Nîmes,
and online.
Last year, we sold almost 36 800 used
cars.
We sell all types of used
vehicles: commercial vehicles, tourism vehicles, damaged
vehicles, top of the range vehicles, low cost vehicles,
HGVs…
The vehicles that we
offer for sale come directly from dealerships, long term rentals,
French administrations… These vehicles have the advantage that they
have mostly been driven by a single driver and we usually have the
maintenance history.
We sell
vehicles in 3 different ways:
Physical auctions
These sales
are organised in our 3 sales centres.
All physical auctions are also broadcasted on Internet through Live
Online.

Live Online auctions
Some auctions are only
available on Live Online.
But this tool is also used to broadcast phycial auctions.
It tool allows you to participate in sale room auctions from
your home, through audio and video transmission of the sale.
Online
auctions
Sometimes, we organise some auctions exclusively on the
internet.
Some online auctions are followed by an
x-Bid
phase.
When it is used, the x-Bid session starts at the end of the
auction.
The timetable for the next x-Bid sale is always shown on our
website.
