BCA's Top Cars Of 2010

BCA (British Car Auctions) have had a variety of used cars in 2010. They have short listed their best cars.


BCA handle on an average, 3,000 cars per day combined from their 21 locations in the United Kingdom. Selling all kinds of used vehicles from cars, vans, trucks and even managing to get hold of a road train.


The most exclusive car was a car even we reported on, the Bugatti Veyron, which you can read by clicking here.


Tim Naylor from BCA commented:

"This year's big ticket items were a 2006 Bugatti Veyron, which went for £625,000 and a 2008 Rolls Royce Phantom, which realised £195,500,"


"Both sales created a huge amount of interest with buyers registering from all over the UK and even further afield."


"The most unusual vehicles we sold were a pair of Road Trains, more often seen at beach resorts and other visitor attractions. The New Holland Leisure train sold for £4,900, while the Italian made Dotto Train realised £2,500. BCA also sold a lavishly appointed one-off Mobile Office with 12 workstations based on an Iveco truck for £38,500 - ironically it had been used to promote recycling and was being recycled itself!"


"We also held a sale of ‘barn find' classic cars, previously in the hands of one owner from the Margate area and hidden in lock-ups and garages for a number of years. The star of the show was a 1959 Ford Zodiac Convertible which made £6,300 despite being in bits and pieces."


"Charity auctions this year included a pink Smart Car supporting the Royal Marsden Cancer Campaign and the Bangers4BEN sale, which raised £5,350 towards the Motor Industry Benevolent Fund. We also sold a beautifully restored Royal Mail Morris Minor van with all the funds raised going to Barnados."


"BCA also had cars with a showbiz connection. In November, we sold a Honda CR-Z Hybrid Coupe for £18,500, formerly owned by Justin Hawkins, ex-lead singer from The Darkness, while earlier in the year a vintage Ford Cortina 2000GT previously featured on the BBC's Culture Show was sold."
