Did you know that the old office manager from Matthewsons (Sarah Crabtree) now has her own classic car auction site based in Dagenham Essex. ??
It’s called Evoke.

Sometimes their estimates are way off (usually pretty good), I was looking at a car with a 12k estimate last time, started bidding at 18 and sold at 30.

That’s surprisingly low for Mathewsons, their prices are usually higher than retail. I used to buy from there until the tv series took off, since then they are too expensive.
Their buyers and sellers fees have soared too.
My SLK daily driver I bought from them a few yrs back, got it at a good price back then but that was when Derek ran his auctions from the local village hall.
