Trade plate vehicle movements in Newmarket, Suffolk

Auction collections from BCA Chelmsford, Manheim Frating and BCA Bedford

Newmarket has no auction site of its own, so local buyers usually collect from BCA Bedford, BCA Chelmsford or Manheim Frating near Colchester. Tell us which one holds your lot and we will take it from there.

Before a driver joins the A14 we confirm with the auction house that the lot has been released, so nobody is turned away at the gate. There is more on auction collections once a lot is released. A salvage lot is the one exception, because it cannot go on trade plates.

Plenty of Newmarket stock also moves to and from Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge and Ely. We handle those runs every bit as gladly.

The A14, the A142 and race days on the High Street

Most of our drivers reach Newmarket where the A14 meets the A142, or on the A1303 from Cambridge. The A14 takes you to Bury one way and Cambridge the other, and the A142 heads north to Ely. Race day closures on the High Street and holds on the A14 can shift timings, so we agree a realistic collection time with you rather than offer a same day slot we cannot be sure of.

CB8 reaches well beyond the town. Exning, Cheveley, Burwell, Dullingham and Studlands each have their own roads, and Mildenhall is a separate town altogether. Give us the exact street and the driver will go straight there.

A short move from Fordham Road to Studlands is one booking, and so is a car collected in Newmarket and delivered to Glasgow. Newmarket station on the Ipswich to Cambridge line gives our driver a handy way home after a one way delivery.

Dealer transfers and fleet vans from Fordham Road

A typical Newmarket booking is an independent sending a car to a group site in Bury or Cambridge, or a part exchange heading to BCA Bedford once it is legal to drive. Fleet vans come off Fordham Road, the CB8 industrial estates and the units towards Exning, and each needs a valid MOT.

Retail handovers get the same care. A customer off the High Street or out on The Avenue sees our driver arrive in their new car, with no trailer in the way. Find out how we treat site transfers and handovers to your customers.

The High Street, The Avenue and the streets around the clock tower are tight, so add the estate name, any barrier code and a named contact to your booking.

Condition, cover and proof on every Newmarket drive

Our driver records the condition of the car before setting off, and the receiver signs at the other end. Proof of collection and proof of delivery arrive together in one emailed report, and that applies just as much to a quick hop from Exning to Dullingham as to a long run north.

We move cars, light vans and electric vehicles that are roadworthy and legal to drive. HGVs and non runners need a different service. Motor trade road risk insurance covers the vehicle until it is signed for.
