Trade plate vehicle movements in Whittlesey and the Fens

Auction collections from BCA Bedford, BCA Nottingham, BCA Castle Donington and Manheim Frating

Whittlesey has no auction site of its own, so local buyers collect from BCA Bedford, BCA Nottingham, BCA Castle Donington or Manheim Frating. We pick up from all four and bring the car straight back to the Fens.

Before a driver sets off on the A605 we confirm with the auction that your lot has been released. Find out what happens in an auction collection after release. Please note that salvage vehicles need a transporter, not trade plates.

If the other end of the move is Peterborough, see our page on trade plate vehicle movements in Peterborough. We also cover March and Chatteris.

The A605, the A141 and Fen fog on Station Road

Our drivers usually arrive on the A605 from Peterborough or the A141 from March. The A605 links Peterborough and March, while the B1040 heads south to Ramsey. A closure on the A605 at Stanground or thick Fen fog can slow things down, so we agree a realistic collection time with you rather than promise you a same day slot.

PE7 covers more than the town itself. Eastrea, Coates and the streets around Delph and Turners Lane are all distinct, so give us the exact address and the driver will go straight there.

A short move from Station Road to Delph is one booking, and so is a car collected in Whittlesey and delivered to Glasgow. Whittlesea station, spelled with an a on the timetable, sits on the Ely to Peterborough line and gives our driver a simple way home.

Dealer transfers and fleet vans around the Buttercross

Whittlesey independents often send cars to group sites in Peterborough or March, and part exchanges go to BCA Bedford once they are legal to drive. Fleet vans come off Station Road, the PE7 industrial estates and the units towards Eastrea, and each needs a valid MOT.

For a retail handover, your customer off Market Street sees our driver arrive in their new car, not a trailer parked by the Buttercross. Our guide to dealer transfers and doorstep handovers explains how each one works.

Market Street, Queen Street and the roads around the Buttercross are tight, so add the estate name, any barrier code and a named contact to the booking.

Roadworthy vehicles with proof at both ends

We only drive cars and vans that are roadworthy and legal to drive, with a valid MOT where one is required and keys that start them. Salvage needs a transporter.

At collection our driver records the panels, mileage, photos and any notes. The receiver signs on delivery and you receive proof of collection and proof of delivery together in one email, whether the run is a short hop from Eastrea to Delph or a drive across the country. Motor trade road risk insurance covers each vehicle from collection until it is signed for.
