The first regular monthly auction to be held on the second Tuesday of the month kicked off with a winning score on Tuesday 5 February at the West Coast Motor Auctions site at Wyrefield, Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire FY6 8JX.
This brand new monthly auction is is being run by Brian Bull who previously organised auctions at Bawtry, South Yorkshire, and has a 25-year auction track record. Viewing is from 4pm, sale commencing at 6pm.
Reviewing the debut auction Bull said: “This was a massive success for our first sale, despite it being a cold, windy and snowy day. It was well attended, especially by local sellers and buyers, some trading at an auction for the first time. Some dealers from London were also present. The promise of future support is good, and I may consider a weekend classic auction.”
On the night Bull declared 35 sales, an 80 per cent conversion. This is impressive for a new auction in the dead of winter. Full results will appear in the March issue of BDN.
