Following the recent tragic incident at Bicester Motion, which claimed the lives of three people, the team at Bicester Motion have had time to reflect and consult with the Emergency Services about opening up the site.

We are delighted to confirm, with the venue's full support, that the Classic Sale at Wheeler Dealer Live will proceed as planned on Sunday, 1st June 2025.

The event will now also serve as a heartfelt tribute to those who lost their lives, and together with the wider automotive community, we will honour their memory through a number of commemorative acts:

• A three-minute silence at 11:00 am, observed across the venue
• Charity Auction with all proceeds donated evenly to The Fire Fighters Charity, and a second charity to be chosen by the family of the late David Chester
• A designated remembrance area, offering visitors space for quiet reflection and to pay their respects
• Iconic Auctioneers will donate 50% of their catalogue sales, and two tickets to the Silverstone Festival in August
• Further tributes are being discussed internally with the Fire and Rescue Service and the families affected

Classic Car Auctions by Iconic Auctioneers now look forward to welcoming interested buyers to their Viewing Day on Saturday 31st May, from 12 noon to 5 pm and to the auction and Wheeler Dealer Live Event on Sunday 1st June.

There are over 140 classic, modern and retro cars up for auction, ranging from Barn Finds to Bentleys, Renaults to a Rolls-Royce. There’s a Volkswagen Beetle directly from Jamie Oliver, two cars previously owned by Chris Evans, and one of the most viewed cars in history, the KSI  "car challenge" Lupo, which has had over 3 million views on YouTube and will be opening the auction at 11 am.
