For over 70 years, we have been bringing buyers & vendors together

BCA across Europe

Starting in 1946 as Southern Counties Car Auctions, we were one of the first companies to allow people across the UK the opportunity to buy and sell a wide range of cars at auction. At our first auction we sold 14 cars.

Today, British Car Auctions is part of BCA Marketplace plc, a company listed on the London Stock Exchange.
We sell more than one million vehicles annually and are Europe’s largest vehicle remarketing company.
We are managing used car sales at 50 centres across 10 countries: UK, France, Portugal, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark, Italy, Sweden.
