Trade plate vehicle movements in Amersham and the Chilterns

Old Amersham or Amersham on the Hill: tell us which

Old Amersham, down in the Misbourne valley, has tight streets around the High Street and the market hall, with homes off the A413. A retail handover there needs someone at the door and a legal place to stop, and our driver will wait for the handover rather than leave a car on the kerb.

Up the hill, around the station and the shops, access is easier, with the A404 heading to the M40 at High Wycombe and the M25 close by. The right postcode tells us exactly which part of town you mean, which a town name alone cannot.

Chesham, Little Chalfont, Chalfont St Giles, Beaconsfield, Gerrards Cross and High Wycombe all feature on Amersham jobs. A collection in any of them with delivery in Amersham is one driven movement, and an Amersham collection delivered to Glasgow is booked in exactly the same way.

Auction collections from BCA Enfield, Manheim Northampton and beyond

Amersham has no BCA or Manheim yard, so local buyers tend to collect from BCA Enfield on the far side of the M25, or Manheim Northampton when the stock is heading up the M1. BCA Bedford on the A1 sits further north, and Wilsons Auctions Witney towards Oxford is the westerly choice.

Each compound has its own gate procedure, and a buyer reference from one site will not open another, so put the right compound on your quote. We confirm release before a driver is sent. Read more about auction collection after release.

Salvage and anything that cannot be driven legally need a transporter, so we leave those out.

The A413, the A404 and the M25 on an Amersham run

The A413 follows the valley, with Aylesbury one way and the Chalfonts the other, while the A404 links Amersham to the M40. The M25 is near enough that a delivery anywhere on the London orbital is a routine afternoon, although a closure there can change the plan, so we schedule around the real roads.

Amersham station is served by the Metropolitan line and Chiltern Railways, which gives our driver a way home after a one way delivery. When the driver is free depends on where the last job finished, and we will tell you that when we book.

If the collection is a customer's house, let us know. If it is a dealer yard with a height barrier, send the code with the booking, because a code gets the car out far faster than a photo of a vehicle nobody can reach.

Roadworthy vehicles, MOTs and digital proof

We need one registration, two postcodes and a vehicle that is legal to drive, with a valid MOT where one is required. Trade plates never stand in for an MOT. A roadworthy light van is the same job as a car, though HGVs are outside what we do.

Our driver takes photos and notes the mileage before setting off, and the receiver signs at delivery. You get proof of collection and delivery together in one emailed report. See how vehicle collection and delivery with POC and POD works, and how we handle site transfers and retail handovers for dealers.

Motor trade road risk insurance covers the vehicle from collection until it is signed for, and fuel or charging is included.
