ABOUT US

 

Vintage and Classic Motorcar Auctions has emerged through a liaison between Andrew Greenwood and Charles Russell. Andrew is renowned for his series of Summer Roadshows, with over 12,000 display vehicles and 50,000 visitors. He has 22 years and 600 shows to his credit. Charles Russell, with over 30 years in the old car industry, has contacts with owners, collectors, clubs, parts and restoration companies, plus old car dealers throughout the world and is therefore ideally placed to promote the vendors vehicles.

 

We have joined forces to bring the vendors a quality auction with the level of charges being exceptionally keen. We offer the talent and experience of our team, linked with the well known and established classic shows; The Malvern Classic Car Show, The Restoration Car Show, Donington and Alexandra Palace, London, giving exposure to a much larger audience and increased potential bidders. Malvern enjoys easy access from the M5 and Alexandra Palace has an appeal to overseas buyers who can fly into Heathrow.

These superb venues, with continuous promotion of the Vintage and Classic Motorcar auction throughout the year, at all Andrew’s shows and in the press, keen prices and extensive marketing contacts, should enable us to gain the best price for our vendors.

 

...Who we are:

 

Charles Russell - Head of Division and the man who the buck stops with!
