We're thrilled to be putting on our first 'in-the-room' sale this weekend and look forward to welcoming you back to Chippenham from tomorrow when we go on view. We've been given the go-ahead to taking bookings from up to 100 guests. Both viewing and seats for the sale are strictly by reservation only.

With having such a heavy restriction placed on us, due to Covid-19, we do ask that if you book a place and then find you won't be attending that you kindly let us know as we anticipate we'll have to hold a reserve list - a very alien concept to be limiting numbers when we've spent years encouraging the reverse!

​We are however, of course, not restricted online and so actively encourage online bidding, booking a telephone line (to save yourself the online fee) or leaving a commission bid with us by phone or email.
Viewing: Thursday 10am-5pm, Friday 10am-5pm, Saturday 8.30am-5pm

Lastly a few dates for the diary. Further select entries are invited for our next Petroliana sale on 12th June and Motorcycles sale on 26th June.
We look forward to seeing you again!
Stay safe, 
From all the R.E.A.L team

We are delighted to announce we have not one, but two brand new sponsors on board for the next 12 months. We are very excited about the opportunities that this will open up as we look to continue driving the group forward, offering you more and enhancing the overall membership experience.

MG Insurance Services Ltd was formed as the insurance division for the MG Owners Club in 1984 and specialised in providing MG Insurance for members of the MG Owners Club. As the popularity and demand for classic car insurance grew, it was decided in 1989 to arrange insurance for a wider variety of classic cars. This resulted in the MG insurance division becoming Lancaster Insurance Services Ltd.

In addition to being an insurance broker, Lancaster are perhaps best known in our group as headline sponsors of LANCASTER INSURANCE CLASSIC MOTOR SHOW, WITH DISCOVERY, billed as 'the biggest and best classic motor show in the UK'. Watch this space for some very special club offers and competitions with great prizes from the team at Lancaster coming soon.

Services offered include insurance cover for:

• Classic Cars
• 4x4 vehicles
• Motor Homes
• Campervans
• Vans
• Kit cars
• Modified cars

As established auctioneers in the world of vintage and classic cars and motorcycles, Richard Edmonds offers the complete auction service with an impossible-to-beat seller’s commission of 0%.

​In addition they are Europe’s leading specialists in selling automobilia and petroliana.  The auction business grew out of a lifetime’s passion and the team takes tremendous pride in offering both buyers and sellers as enjoyable an experience as possible. If you would like to discuss buying or selling a classic vehicle or a treasure from the corner of your garage, then please don’t hesitate to make contact. In the first instance you can discuss your requirements with Admin team member Andrew Tanner, who is a Consultant to the company.

The Richard Edmonds team has wide experience in dealing with deceased estates and is well qualified to handle large collections. They have been selected by several significant motoring museums of late in selling their contents but also are very proud to have been regularly selling on to existing and new museums opening across the United Kingdom.

We can't reveal all the details yet, but we are excited to announce we have our first sponsor!

As many of you will know, our presence at prestigious venues such as Gaydon in the past has called for the Admin team to lay out quite large deposits and liability insurance premiums running to several hundred pounds from their own pockets.

Add to this the calendars, window stickers, key fobs and so on that many of you have enjoyed and you can quickly see there is a limit to what we can do without proper funding.

We have been approached by an organisation that is very impressed by what we do and the way we do it, so they are keen to become involved. The offer is not only financial support, but also includes access to free professional artwork to support our attendances at public events - all of which will help the group put a more professional foot forward.

We hope you will be as pleased as we are - we think this will lift the group onto a new level and means we will be able to do more as a group. Details of the sponsors and what the group will gain from the arrangement will be shared as soon as everything is finalised.
