Why Heritage Cars

Bid on facts, not forecourt talk.

Eight reasons buyers choose a transparent online auction over a sales pitch.

  1. 01

    Honest badges

    Five checks on every lot, ticked only when done. Physically inspected cars carry the Heritage Inspection seal; the rest say exactly where their report came from.

  2. 02

    No hidden extras

    A 5% buyer's premium (minimum £250) plus any VAT shown in the lot's price breakdown. Registering and bidding are free. See the fees.

  3. 03

    Nobody gets sniped

    A bid in the last 2 minutes moves the end to 2 minutes after it, so the auction ends only when bidding has really stopped.

  4. 04

    Your maximum stays private

    Set the most you will pay and we bid for you one step at a time. Nobody, including our staff, can see your maximum.

  5. 05

    Pay from your own bank

    Approve the payment in your banking app against an itemised invoice. No card fees, and no card details to share.

  6. 06

    Proper handover

    Keys, V5C and any service history are handed over with the car at an appointment, or we deliver to mainland UK.

  7. 07

    Your rights protected

    Consumer buyers keep their rights under the Consumer Rights Act and can cancel within 14 days of receiving the car. How it works.

  8. 08

    No tracking

    No advertising pixels and no analytics cookies. We use your data to run your account and nothing else.
