metcars 397 Posted March 2, 2019 I can't seem to get any catalogues for next week on the website, is it just me? I'm always the last to know these things, so I'm hoping they've not shut the branch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope so, I know there were whispers about some Manheim 'restructuring' ages ago. I always thought it would be Northampton as they're heaps of auctions up in the midlands area already?

And yes, helpful staff, dead easy for me to jump the tube and drive back. Be a shame if they've closed. But one things for sure, BCA Paddock wood and Blackbushe will get a whole lot busier! I knew guys that came up from the south coast to attend Wimbledon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Manheims national stock levels haven't dropped, so I can't see why they would close it.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BHM 994 Posted March 2, 2019 7 minutes ago, met said: Next to Vauxhall dealership! I visited Scarborough the other week & there appeared to be what looked like a 13yr old hatchback, dumped outside a shopping centre’s doors, all chavved-up with stickers galore. It was a pitiful sight. Tut-tutting to myself about the youth of today parking in a pedestrianised area, as I drew closer imagine my surprise to see not a ‘yoof’ with a pathetic wispy beard, ripped jeans & a baseball cap, but a grown man in a shirt & tie. It then dawned on me it was a Vauxhall dealer displaying his wares. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Wimbledon could really crack it if they had a saturday sale same as BCA enfield? Looks like they're back online now so panic over, as you were! :-) Edited March 3, 2019 by met Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a shame that back in the day, before they redeveloped the site, that enfield couldn't have 'grabbed' the land around the exit, to use as parking, and so buyers could load and unload without parking issues. Instead they have a silly small customer car park that is usually used for 'stock overflow' and the exit that as you found leads straight onto public road.
