Goodbye BonhamsICars Online.

Hello THE MARKET.

(Again.)

Back in 2016, four years before we became Bonhams Cars Online, we were the UK’s first ever online auction platform for classic and collectible cars.

We were born of a realisation that a combination of digital technology - and the best and most truthful professional photography and written descriptions - could create an experience that puts more and better information than ever before in front of buyers and sellers alike.

Then, we traded as The Market, until we were acquired by Bonhams in 2020.

Well, now we’ve come full circle.

Having completed a management buy-out, we are now once again THE MARKET.

Our ambition is to build on everything we’ve learned from Bonhams and add it to the agility and responsiveness that made us such a success in the first place.

We want to raise the bar for the entire classic and collectible car online auction industry.

We want to set new and ever higher standards for customer service, efficiency, effectiveness, transparency and ease of use.

We want to be the default choice for buyers and sellers alike.

Our unequalled Trustpilot ratings and a sell-through rate of over 90% have long made us the benchmark for quality, service and integrity in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

We’re going to build upon that reputation…and make a few changes that should strengthen it even further.
