UPCOMING SALES
MPH branded 'Drive Throughs' in the Bicester Heritage hangar have been dropped from the Bonhams calendar for 2022, though punters can at least see classics started up at both ACA and SWVA, who will continue to drive lots past their rostrums at King's Lynn in Norfolk and near Poole in Dorset, where the opening sales of the new UK auctions season take place in January and real world salegoers may be allowed to emerge from captivity
AUCTION DIARY 2022
Despite the worst endeavours of the economy screwing politicians on both sides of the Houses of Incompetence, we will attempt to continually update the following auction calendar from one day to the next with the very latest intel.
Best advice for prospective vendors, bidders and voyeurs however has to be still to pre-surf the various auction house websites for their most up to date intentions. For regardless of the Partying Leader trying to save his Premiership by giving his Libertarian Back Benchers Covid Freedom in exchange for their support, further strains of virus (and there may be more) may result in new waves of infection which could trigger newly imposed national, regional or even local economic lockdowns.
