COYS AUCTIONS - Coys' Multiple Auction Weekend

Once again, Coys auctioneering team successfully took on the challenge of multiple simultaneous auctions, which is a great testimonial to their organisation, abilities and skills. The team handled three auctions over two days at two different shows in London, both being the most important motorcycle show and the most important classic motor car show of their type to be held in the UK's capital city. Saturday afternoon, 17th February, saw Guy Newton take the competition, sports and classic motor car auction at the hugely successful London Classic Car Show at Excel, were he achieved excellent results, a number of which are highlighted below.
