  Hampson Marketplace

  

  Cheshire-based auction house’s first premium online auction for supercars, performance & classic cars, motorcycles and registrations runs from 24 to 31 January 

  The first sale in Hampson’s new premium online auction offering, Marketplace, goes live this Friday, 24 January and runs until next Friday, 31 January. Marketplace gives the Cheshire-based auction house’s vendors a new way of selling supercars, performance and classic cars, motorcycles and registrations while also supporting a local children’s charity.  

  Hampson Managing Director Zach Hamilton said: “This innovative online auction platform is designed to complement our renowned physical sales held at Oulton Park and Bolesworth Castle in Cheshire. As the only privately family-owned auction house in the region, we bring a strong family ethos and decades of expertise as specialists in performance and supercars to this new venture. In addition to offering a diverse range of cars, Hampson Marketplace will include fast bikes, ensuring an exceptional experience for enthusiasts. We are especially delighted to support this initiative in partnership with a charity dedicated to helping children and their families navigate the challenges of cancer—a cause that resonates deeply with our values.”

  Entries in the inaugural Marketplace sale include a stunning 2022 Porsche 992 Carrera 4 GTS, a potent 2011 Mitsubishi Evo X and an impressive 1975 Ford Escort RS2000.  Rarities on offer include a supercharged 1987 Toyota MR2 (a model not offered for sale in the UK and Europe) and a 2013 Renault Megane Red Bull coupe, number 14 of just 30 produced. Two-wheeled lots going under the virtual hammer include a 1977 Honda CB550 once owned and fully restored TV presenter and renowned motorcycle enthusiast, Henry Cole, a 2001 Yamaha R6, 2016 Ducati Panigale 959 and 2016 Ducati Panigale 1199, plus a trio of classic Ariels – a 1946 SQ4, 1958 Hunsmaster and 1958 Redhunter. There’s even a ready-to-race Jawa speedway bike.

  Buyers can view the lots and bid live online 24/7. Each listing includes a full description and comprehensive selection of photographs, and interested parties can also request a Condition Report, including a detailed video, or even book an appointment to view the vehicle in person at Hampson’s headquarters in Cheshire.

  Vehicles and cherished registrations will be showcased to Hampson’s global audience for seven days, giving fantastic exposure, further supported by listings on Hampson’s channels with The Saleroom, Bid Spotter and i-Bidder and promotion in Hampson’s e-newsletters and popular media channels. There’s no seller’s commission to pay - just a flat entry fee – and the 7% buyer’s premium makes Marketplace an attractive place to shop as well as to sell. 

  Hampson will split that 7% buyer’s premium, donating 1% of the hammer price of each lot to The Joshua Tree, a Cheshire charity supporting families affected by childhood cancers. So, each sale really will make a difference.
