Trade plate vehicle movements in York and the Vale of York

Collecting auction lots from BCA Leeds, Manheim Leeds and Normanton

There is no auction yard in York itself, so local buyers tend to collect from BCA Leeds or Manheim Leeds down the A64, with BCA Normanton and BCA Brighouse further into West Yorkshire. You can collect from BCA Leeds after release and our driver will bring the car back to your forecourt.

We confirm the release with the site you name before anyone heads down the A64, so there is no wasted trip to a closed gate. You can read more about collecting released auction lots. A salvage lot needs a truck rather than our trade plates.

If one end of the move is outside the city, see vehicle movements in Selby or vehicle movements in Ripon. Harrogate is a separate town with its own roads.

Getting around York on the A64, A19 and A1237

The A64 runs to Leeds one way and Malton and Scarborough the other, the A19 links Selby with Thirsk and the A59 heads out to Harrogate and the A1. The A1237 forms the northern ring and the A1036 carries traffic through Fulford towards Tadcaster. Queues where the A64 meets the ring road, or a race day on the Knavesmire, can slow the last stretch, so we plan timings with you rather than promise a same day slot.

Acomb, Fulford, Huntington, Poppleton, Selby and Harrogate are all close neighbours. YO24 is not YO1, so tell us the exact postcode and area and the driver will go straight to the right address.

Collecting at Clifton Moor and delivering in Acomb is one job, and so is collecting in York and delivering to Glasgow. After a one way delivery our driver heads home from York station, just outside the walls on the main line, or from Poppleton if the drop was to the north west.

Inside the walls: Stonegate, Micklegate and Bootham

Stonegate, Micklegate and the streets inside the walls are tight, which is where a driven car makes far more sense than a transporter. We still need a spot where the driver can stop legally, so tell us about any access restrictions. Homes in Acomb, Huntington or Bishopthorpe are usually simpler.

Compounds at Clifton Moor and Monks Cross tend to have a barrier and a site manager, and they often sit in a different YO district from the one on the invoice. Please add the gate code and a named contact to the booking.

Dealer transfers and fleet vans from Clifton Moor and Monks Cross

A typical York booking is an independent sending a car to a group site in Leeds or Hull, or a part exchange going to BCA Leeds once it is legal to drive. Fleet vans come off Clifton Moor, Monks Cross and the YO30 estates, and each one needs a valid MOT.

If you have promised a customer on Bootham a delivery to their door, our driver arrives in the car itself rather than with a trailer on Stonegate. Here is how we approach deliveries for dealers and their customers. As we move single vehicles, nothing sits waiting for a transporter to fill its deck.

On a short hop from Clifton Moor to Acomb or a long drive north, condition and photos are recorded at collection, the receiver signs on delivery and you get a single report by email.

Booking a YO postcode movement with OVM

We bring the trade plates, and the vehicle needs to be roadworthy and legal to drive, with a valid MOT where one is required. It is insured under our motor trade road risk cover from pickup to signature. More detail sits on our pages about trade plate vehicle movements and UK coverage from Glasgow.
