Already the world’s leading online auction platform, Bring a Trailer is now expanding into the UK collector car market.
March 23, 2026
The world’s largest online auction platform, Bring a Trailer, has officially launched in the UK using a network of local partners.
Established in 2007, Bring a Trailer (BaT) has grown from a personal blog by company co-founder Randy Nonnenberg into the leading online marketplace for collectable cars.
As we discovered with our exclusive insight into the company, Nonnenberg began by using his blog to highlight interesting cars for sale. The site’s popularity led to Bring a Trailer becoming an auction platform in its own right during 2010 – then growing rapidly over the past 16 years.
Last year, BaT generated more than $1.7 billion (approx. £1.28 billion) in sales, with 49,486 auctions concluded. The vehicles sold ranged from affordable classics to high-end hypercars.
Having previously facilitated sales of cars in the UK, BaT now believes the time is right to fully embrace the British collector car market.
