Colchester Commercials
The biggest and best - welcome to Europe's only four lane commercial vehicle auction centre.
You’ll find regular van auctions at Manheim Colchester, Europe's only 'Four Lane Commercial Vehicle Auction Centre'. Auction days are always busy, with buyers flocking from all corners of the UK, so to help we provide a collection and drop-off service from the local train station or airport.
We also offer free parking for 100 customer cars, plus onsite refreshments via our restaurant and snack-bar. And to make buying as simple and hassle-free as possible, our centre team also includes dedicated commercial vehicle experts who are available to offer expert advice and guidance.
Our facilities include: customer car parking, collection, drop-off and delivery service, on-site café, plus reconditioning and valeting.
Trade account holder buyers can also purchase vehicles online, in each of our lanes via Simulcast, Manheim's live link to physical auction.
Important update following prime minister’s statement
In response to the Prime Minister’s announcement tonight imposing strict restrictions in the UK to help stop the spread of the Coronavirus, we will be closing all our offices, auction centres and vehicle services sites as soon as possible under a managed process. This means that we will also be suspending all our physical auction sales immediately until further notice. The planned auctions on Simulcast for Tuesday 24th will not go ahead whilst we make the preparations for closure.
We will be working through the details of the closure process on Tuesday and will communicate further as soon as we are able to. The health and well-being of team members remains top priority, as well as ensuring the safety of our customers and suppliers. We appreciate that this is an unsettling time but I’m sure you understand that this highly necessary and responsible course of action must be taken quickly.
Thank you for your understanding.
