Trade plate vehicle movements in Lincoln, uphill and down

Auction collections for Lincoln buyers from Nottingham and Huthwaite

Lincoln has no auction yard of its own. BCA Nottingham is the nearest BCA, Manheim Huthwaite is the Nottinghamshire Manheim, and BCA Castle Donington and Manheim Bruntingthorpe cover lots bought further south.

Before a driver heads out along the A46, we confirm your lot has been released. Everything you need to send us is listed under auction collection after release. Salvage lots will need a transporter instead.

If the other end of your move is further south, see trade plate vehicle movements in Grantham.

Tritton Road, the Bail and Lincoln's hill

The A15 runs through the city between Scunthorpe and Sleaford, the A57 heads west to meet the A1 at Markham Moor and the A158 is the road to Skegness. North Hykeham, Waddington, Nettleham, Gainsborough, Newark and Grantham are all close neighbours.

The hill shapes every collection. Steep Hill, Bailgate and the streets around the cathedral are tight with little room to wait, while units on Tritton Road and Allenby sit down in the lower city behind barriers. Customers in Bracebridge need somewhere legal for the driver to stop.

North Hykeham and Gainsborough are separate towns, and an NG31 postcode belongs to Grantham, so please give the exact address. A short hop from Tritton Road to the Bail is one job, and so is a run from Lincoln to Glasgow.

Lincoln station and the trip home

Lincoln station sits at the bottom of the hill and is the natural way home for our driver after a one way delivery. Hykeham station is handier when the drop is in LN6, so we choose whichever suits.

Dealer transfers and fleet vans across Lincolnshire

A typical Lincoln booking is an independent sending a car to a group site in Nottingham or Hull, or a part exchange heading to BCA Nottingham once it is legal to drive. Fleet vans come off Allenby and Tritton Road, and every one needs a valid MOT.

When a customer on Monks Road is expecting their car, our driver delivers it to the door. On a steep, narrow street a driven car is often far more practical than a trailer. You can read about dealer deliveries in more depth.

We move one vehicle at a time, so your car never waits for a transporter to fill its deck on the A15. Add a named contact and any barrier code for locked units at Allenby.

Planning around the A46 and Steep Hill

Closures on the A46, a steep final stretch with nowhere to wait and a Hykeham address booked as Lincoln are the usual causes of delay. Tell us whether the car is up the hill or on an LN6 estate, along with any barrier code and a contact, so the driver goes straight to Bracebridge or BCA Nottingham.

Paperwork stays the same whatever the drive. A short hop from Hykeham to the Bail gets photos at collection and a signature on delivery, just like a long run north.

Booking an LN1 movement with OVM

Every vehicle must have a valid MOT where required and be legal to drive. Light vans are fine; HGVs are not something we move. Our pages on trade plate vehicle movements and UK coverage from Glasgow explain more.

Booking from Lincoln works just as it does anywhere else. Pop in the registration, both postcodes and dates for an instant quote, or call us on 0141 459 1302.
