Classic Cars
At Copart, we’ve got a lovely selection of Classic Cars to tickle your fancy. Whether you want an opportunity to flex your skills at the summer car shows, have a project car that’ll keep you busy, or your customers just want to drive to work in something that makes them stand out from the crowd, Copart’s got you covered.
What is a classic?
That may seem like a simple question, but it is quite difficult to pin down what exactly is meant by a ‘classic’. The consensus is anything that is 20-25 years old. That’d technically make your next-door neighbour’s M Reg Mondeo a classic, and in this post-scrappage-scheme world, maybe a case could be made for that. We believe that a classic is in the eyes of the beholder, anything old, collectible or iconic can be seen as a classic.
What classics do Copart sell?
Our auctions really do have a huge variety of classic and vintage cars, which, should you be passionate about vehicles could be a great source of stock for specialist dealerships and enthusiast websites, as well as the ideal place for classic car lovers to get their hands on their next project car.

How do I buy classics?
To buy these unique and iconic vehicles through Copart, you’ll need to sign up for a Member account. We will need to see some documentation and receive a Membership fee, and once that’s all out of the way you’ll be free to bid on, win and buy all of our classics, and indeed any other vehicles that attract your interest. If you find a vehicle on our site, we welcome all Members to visit the Copart Operations Centre at which it is stored and view the vehicle in person so that you can ascertain the precise damage and whether the vehicle is right for you.
Need Inspiration?
Check out this cracking example of a classic car that we got in last year whilst running the classic car prize draw. We had some great entries and saw some stunning projects. We’d also be delighted to see your projects once they’re finished, so don’t forget to tweet them to us @CopartUKLimited.
What about Parts?
For motoring enthusiasts, a big part of having a classic car is tinkering with it. Tightening up old bolts, replacing the parts and generally improving the run, drive and look of it. Copart offers a service called BreakerBid4U, where you’ll be able to find Category B vehicles and use our facilities to dismantle them and take off the components, all without the need for Category B licences. This can be a great way to get your hands on genuine used parts, sometimes on rare and unique vehicles. If this is something that interests you, visit our BreakerBid4U homepage!
