Hi

 Does anyone know of any good car auctions in South East London area?
A number of years ago I used to go to the one in Charlton, Belmont Car
Auctions, but this has now closed down. Is there one in Erith and is it
any good. I am looking for a good selection of exfleet cars e.g. ford
focus estate.

Thanks

Your best bet is probably BCA Paddock Wood in Kent.  Better still, go to BCA
Blackbushe.

You can preview BCA stock (for a small fee) at www.auctionview.co.uk

Thanks for you help but there must be other good auctions which are not
over an hour drive from SE London. I used to go to the one in Deptford
but it did not seem to have the quality of vehicles as the one in
Charlton used to have, or has it improved since?

Manheim Wimbledon?

Horrible.  A blot on Manhiem's usually excellent reputation IMHO.

I've not been for ages. Why so?

Crap parking.

Very little natural light and terrible lighting - you can't see the cars
properly.

Cars parked so close together you can hardly get a fag paper between them,
let alone have a proper look around them; it's a real obstacle course.

Compared to BCA Blackbushe or Manheim Bristol it's a total non-starter.

Ahh - right. The local streets are certainly parked solid when I've gone
past.

True. For the ring I used to follow they had to go outside first, so I'd
look at them there. With the posh car ring they only went outside after
going through.

Yes. Years ago you could view the day before at leisure.

Must go to Blackbushe one day. Are the heart attack breakfasts as good as
Wimbledon?

If you haven't been, you must - compared to Wimbledon you just won't believe
it.

Whilst Blackbushe's menu does include a great deal of heart attack-inducing
food, they nowadays also have a wide range of other food options like stir
frys, casseroles, lasagnes etc. - it's just not normal!

They've moved Wimbledon?

No idea - it's in London and south of the river isn't it?

Or maybe they've moved it to Milton Keynes as well.

True, but quite a few miles from the start of South East London - it's in
SW.

I was thinking that.  SE19 always used to be Crystal Palace/Norwood.
