Auctioneering Classics Since 1993

1930 Brough Superior SS100 Sold for £416,250 March 2019 One of just two auction houses to have ever sold both a car for over $10,000,000 and a motorcycle for more than $500,000 1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Sold for £7,425,000 October 2015

Founded by Simon Hope and Mark Hamilton in 1993 H&H Classics has been continuously trading longer than any other UK or European auction house. In fact you could say that we’ve reached classic status ourselves. We believe that our expertise is unrivalled in the market for classic and collector motorcars and motorcycles, we also believe that our auctions speak louder than words so here are some highlights from almost 30 years under the hammer. We became one of only five auction houses ever to sell a car for over $11 million when we sold a 1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB in 2015 and we’ve sold almost £2m of motorcycles in a single day at our motorcycle auctions. We’ve achieved world record prices for competition cars including a 1968 Lotus 49B and a 1996 Subaru Impreza WRC and we’ve had Royal success stories with The Queen’s Daimler, Prince Philip’s Lagonda and Princess Anne’s Bentley. We also know that the value of a collectible isn’t just reflected in the sale price or a celebrity’s name. An Austin or a BSA can provoke a passion as strong as an Aston Martin or Brough Superior, so that’s why we operate at every level of the classic and collector car and motorcycle market. Speak to one of our specialists and you’ll soon discover that we share your passion and buying or selling with H&H Classics will be an easy and enjoyable experience. www.HandH.co.uk

A brand new auction series of iconic performance cars held at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford.

Think everything from a Shelby Cobra laying down thick rubber lines through to a Volkswagen Golf GTi cornering hard enough to cock its inside rear wheel! If it is the sort of ‘motor’ that a professional wheelman would helm – imagine a camera zooming in on a pair of Raybans, driving gloves and needles dancing their way around rev counters and speedometers – then H&H want to hear from you.

The Fast Road Sale features a cross section of iconic fast road vehicles such as Fast Fords, Audi Quattro, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, Subaru Impreza, Porsche Turbo’s and Lotus Esprit JPS etc. For anyone who loves speed and the G-forces that take hold with a little right foot action, a must attend event for all performance car enthusiasts! To consign your performance car into the auction please call us on 01925 210035 or email sales@HandH.co.uk.

H&H Online Auctions are held to the same exacting standards as our Classic Auction events. These rolling, timed auction events close on the second Wednesday of each month and see a constant flow of classic and modern classic cars and motorcycles for buyers to bid on from the comfort of home – or indeed anywhere they have access to a smartphone, tablet, or computer.

H&H Online Auctions 30

H&H raises the bar for online auctions, delivering a quality of service backed by almost 30 years of experience. Whether you’re looking to buy or sell speak to one of our specialists to discover how easy and enjoyable taking part in an H&H Online auction can be.

Buyers at our online auctions can have the confidence that the final transaction is handled through H&H rather than direct with the seller. We charge a flat fee of 12.5 per cent for car sales and 15 per cent for motorcycles, plus VAT, for our services, and after the excitement of winning with a click of a mouse or tap of a phone screen, the only thing you’ll need to arrange yourself is the collection of your ‘new’ classic –although H&H can handle that as well if you prefer.

Just like our Classic Auctions, H&H will guide buyers and sellers through the process, which is essentially the same as our in-person auctions. For sellers that means we will value your vehicle, inspect documentation, perform an HPI check and write a detailed description to tempt online buyers. You can supply your own photography, or we can arrange to shoot your car if you prefer. We will field any questions from buyers throughout the auction and we will handle the exchange of funds after the sale – a reassuring safety net. What’s more sellers pay no fees at all and so receive the full sales price.
