Looking to sell a classic car at auction this year? Whether it’s a roaring manual ’67 Mustang or a Dieppe built Alpine A110, selling your classic car at auction can be the ultimate way to rock the financial returns. Here’s why putting your wheels under the hammer is not just a safe and reliable choice—it’s the coolest way command hot bids on your car.
The Benefits of Selling at Auction
- A Stage for Your Star: When you sell your classic car at a TCC auction our free professional photography and video service makes your car the headline act (available within a 25-mile radius).
- Transparent and Hassle-Free: Forget tyre kickers and haggling. We handle the heavy lifting, ensuring all of a vehicle’s history is presented digitally to help the buyer make an informed bid that gives them confidence in their purchase and you the best return.
- Reach Buyers Who Mean Business: Our audience are serious bidders—they are enthusiasts, collectors and sometimes impulsive. They know the value of what’s in front of them and want a reason to buy. With our extensive network and marketing prowess, we will put your car in front of buyers who are ready to drive their bids up.
- Pre-Auction Offers: If a seller’s heart is really set on a vehicle, they can make an offer up to 48 hours or more before an auction starts, allowing you to avoid a battle of the bidders.
The Financial High Notes
Here’s where it gets even hotter: The Cool Classics doesn’t charge sellers a penny to list their car.
That’s right—zero fees to sell.
Big-name traditional auction houses like Sotheby’s and Iconic Auctioneers often charge steep fees—sometimes up to 10% or more for both buyers and sellers. At The Cool Classics, we keep things simple and affordable. Sellers pay nothing, and buyers only pay 5% to sell a car. That means more of the sale price stays where it belongs: in your pocket.
By combining low costs with a high-quality digital-first experience, we make selling your classic car an easy and rewarding process.

A Platform That is Serious About Cars and their Owners
Selling your classic car with The Cool Classics isn’t just a transaction—it’s an event. We know cars aren’t just machines; they’re a part of your personal story on this planet, a piece of automotive history and are in some cases, works of art.
Whether you are in possession of your grandfathers Porsche 901 in concours condition, a heartily enjoyed Jaguar XJS or even a thoroughbred rally Escort that’s slipped around Ash trees, each vehicle is sentimental. And it is our job to make sure your car is appreciated for what it is.
To summarise the feeling of selling with TCC – it is like passing the mic to the next great performer on the main stage at Glastonbury. We’re connecting your car with network of people who care about machines.
