Selling your classic car? It's FREE to list your car on Honest John Classics | No thanks
How do I go about selling a modern classic?
My 88 year old father-in-law has decided to hang up his driving gloves and wants to know the best way to sell his car. It's a one owner 1996 Ford Scorpio with 82,000 miles on the clock. Probably has 3-inches of paperwork knowing him.
Where would be the best place to sell it to someone that'd appreciate it. The Scorpio forums and websites that I've found seem unused for the past few years.

One thing to do would be to generate some interest in the car by getting one of the 'modern classic' car magazines interested enough in the car to do a feature. The other would be to put it straight into a classic car auction where it might do well or might bomb. Try www.historics.co.uk .
A combination of both would be best, but not much time as the next Historics auction is on 30th August.
