Lex raise the roof at BCA Walsall

Lex and BCA have combined for another highly successful convertible sale, this time staged in the Midlands at BCA’s Walsall centre on 2 June.

With over 100 registered buyers in the auction hall, plus a further 47 bidding over the internet via BCA’s Live Online service, there was plenty of demand for the mouth-watering selection of 273 convertibles assembled for the sale.

Competitive bidding in the hall and online saw 247 ragtops sold on the day for a turnover that exceeded £3.3 million. A total of 32 online buyers purchased 76 cars, representing nearly a third of the convertibles sold.

Ken Boothe, Lex’s National Remarketing Manager commented “We worked closely with our partners at BCA to ensure that we were able to offer a large selection of convertibles in one place at one time. BCA’s marketing campaign attracted hundreds of buyers both in the auction hall and online, which ensured strong and competitive bidding throughout the day.”

Simon Young, National Account Manager, BCA commented “Although convertibles might be seen as niche product, there is a strong following of buyers who either attend these special themed events in person or participate using BCA’s Live Online service. Lex vehicles are particularly prized because of the consistently high quality of product the company offers.”
