Other places to look
Classified sites. AutoTrader and PistonHeads carry adverts from dealers and private sellers. Many of the dealers above advertise there too, so the same car can appear in several places.
Auctions. Online auctions such as Collecting Cars and auction houses such as Bonhams sell rarer and collectable cars. Most add a buyer’s premium, and cars are sold as seen.
Private sellers. Often the lowest prices, with fewer legal protections than buying from a dealer: check the MOT history, run a history check and get an independent inspection.
