Quality not quantity

Ever been to an auction and had to rummage through endless boxes to find the one hidden gem? We only offer single, high-quality items (or items which form a specific collection), ensuring as a Seller you receive the highest level of exposure for your Lot, and as a Buyer you have a chance of winning that specific item you’ve been looking for to complete your collection.

Rarity

Many of the items which will be auctioned on our site will be incredibly rare and may never have been seen at auction before. Many will originate from private collections and will probably never be for sale again. Expect to see rare Ferrari annuals & brochures, historic F1 memorabilia, limited-run books, exclusive models and everything in between.

Ease of access

You no longer need to wait for traditionally advertised sales on specific dates, often where the Automobilia lots exist as a poor relation to the main vehicle sales. We offer high quality lots 24 hours per day, with new items being added every week.

Expertise

HammerDown Automobilia is a small team formed out of Hortons Books, the leading specialist automotive book suppliers in the world. We are used to trading in high value Automobilia items, and we have intimate knowledge of the ever-changing market, in addition to access to a multitude of collectors and trusted market experts, ensuring all items listed are genuine and authentic.  

Maximising your sales

All items we receive for consignment, large or small, will enjoy the same level of care. Correct storage, consistent and professional photography and attention to detail are the keys to presenting your items in the best possible light. We can also photograph larger items effectively, such as motorsport parts and signs using our specialist product photography studio.

No Sellers’ fees

Unlike many traditional auction houses, we do not impose any Seller fees, particularly useful if you’re wary of the auction world or unsure whether your item or collection might be worth consigning.
