Buyers beware
Buyers beware On collection the car wasn't as described. The car needs a full respray. Pics of the car were taken and sent to car & classic. Nothing has been done. This is now in the hands of my solicitors. Stay clear

They have a login problem
They have a login problem. I forgot my password. It says it will send you a link presumably they mean an email (its not clear what they mean, a text perhaps). I tried but I didn't receive an email link. I'm not sure what I did next but managed to upload my car's details quite easily once the initial sign in hurdle had been overcome. My car is displayed very nicely. It will accept a massive amount of text considering that its free. The questionaire was helpful and appropriate. I was irritated and frustrated at first but I'm happy now.

High Fees
Whilst the service was good overall, I would strongly advise against selling lower value cars this way. My Jaguar XJ sold for a winning bid of £3,400, however, the total fees charged to myself (including listing fees) and the buyer by Car & Classic were almost £1,700 - half of that bid. Just to clarify in response to Car & Classic's response to my review above. Sellers fee £720, listing fee £249, and they charged the buyer £400. So £1,400 may have been "inaccurate", but not by much! And before they try the other one, the photographer only gets a proportion of the £249. The point was still well made, and stands.

1986 BMW E30 saloon
The process was very simple from start to finish. The description was written to a great standard and the photographs were numerous and detailed. Communications with the auctioneer and potential buyers were straight forward (special mention to Chandler who was superb) and the payment was swift!

Classic Bought Easily
I bid for a classic car via the auction site. Although this was the first time I'd used C&C site to buy the whole process was relatively straight forward. Unlike Ebay the auction end time automatically extends if you bid in the closing minutes which allows you to bid without losing out to a 'snip' bid placed to automatically bid in the dying seconds. Only issue was the use of Mangopay by C&C as the bank to send the cash to. Process was easy but the use of non UK based bank caused NW to temporarily block payment due to fraud concerns but easily sorted. No probs with communication and all auto emails as part of settlement process received ok. Now I know the system I'd happily use again for future purchases.

Easy site to sell on private seller of classic car
Easy site to sell on. I had a huge amount of online views and 16 watchers. Car sold after 3 weeks for a little under the asking price.

Be patient if you are selling a vehicle that is unusual.
I advertised my 1927 AJS 'big port ' and I did not expect a rush of eager buyers as it is a minority interest. However being patient paid off and after some serious enquiries I foun̈d a suitable buyer who was enthralled. One happy buyer and a happy seller.

Historic campervan soon sold
Listed my historic campervan in free classified ads for approx three weeks. It had numerous people viewing online and two potential buyers. First to arrive very keen: after test drive bought it on the spot, paid online and drove vehicle away the same day. Great experience with Car and Classic, thanks so much.

Listed my Jaguar XJR manual on a Tuesday in the classified ads section for free, the car was sold, paid for and collected by Friday. CarandClassic make it easy to search for cars, the website is very user friendly for both buyers and sellers. Creating an ad, uploading photos is simple and it's all FREE! What's not to like!
