Rather informal old chap compared to bespoke Sotheby’s raiments.

Hagerty International* today announced a new partnership with Manor Park Classics, a Cheshire-based auction house in North West England that is close to the Oulton Park track, er circuit. As part of the agreement, Hagerty will have a “branded and physical presence” at 6 auctions planned for 2022, as well as offering insurance incentives to clients who purchase a vehicle via Manor Park Classic auctions, sales, and events.

“Both parties have an exciting range of experiences, sales and activities planned for 2022 making this partnership both energetic and relevant, and we look forward to working together throughout the year ahead,” said Mark Roper, Managing Director for Hagerty International.

Manor Park Classics will also be present at some Hagerty events, including the 2022 Festival of the Unexceptional, and will receive editorial coverage on interesting cars for sale as well as providing expert advice on how to buy at auction. In addition, Hagerty’s Live Valuation Arenas, which offers showgoers at selected events an opportunity to have their vehicle appraised and valued by market experts, will be presented in association with Manor Park Classics.

Three life-long classic car collectors formed Manor Park Classics to offer a “unique service from a purpose-built, 30,000 square foot facility.”  MPC says every vehicle is prepared and displayed on site, allowing buyers to enjoy a longer pre-sale viewing period than usually available. In addition, Manor Park Classics is a destination for events, car clubs, launches and coffee meets. Classic car owners and enthusiasts use it.
