From 28 June 2025, the import into the EU of non-EU property of a certain age (and in some categories above a certain value) is subject to additional requirements. Under the relevant EU Regulation, it is the Buyer's sole responsibility to assess whether any Lot meets the criteria for import into the EU. The refusal of any required Import Licence or Importer Statement, or any delay in obtaining such Licence or Statement shall not give rise to the rescission or cancellation of any Sale, nor allow any delay in making full payment for the Lot.

Collection of Purchases
Purchases can only be released when cleared funds have been received and the release has been authorised by Bonhams.
Collection of vehicles is available by appointment only - whether you intend on driving the car away from storage or are using a vehicle transport company.
Vehicles will not be available for collection on Sunday 26 November and Monday 27 November due to restrictions of the weekend. Vehicles will be available for release, providing receipt of cleared funds have been received, from Tuesday 28 November. All vehicle collections must be co-ordinated via our transport representatives, The Stables.
Please note that following the sale a Bonhams representative will reach out to Buyers directly regarding plans for onward shipping and storage. If Bonhams hasn't received any response, please note that your purchase may be removed to a temporary storage facility by our shipping and storage partner The Stables. This movement may incur a charge.
All storage and removal charges must be paid in full prior to the vehicle's collection or onward transportation.
Payment of the storage charges and any relevant transport must be arranged with The Stables.

Buyers may have an authorised agent collect their purchases according to the collection deadline.
It is the buyer's responsibility to ensure that their designated agent has the auction venue details, bill of lading showing where the lot will be transported and proof of the buyer authorization for collection of the lot(s).
Buyers and/or their agent are responsible for collecting all available parts, logbooks, title, keys.

Exporting your Purchase
If you are planning to export your purchased vehicle, please alert the Sale Administration Manager and advise who will be handling your transport.

If you are shipping with a Bonhams-preferred shipper
If you decide to ship with a Bonhams-preferred shipper, Bonhams shall zero-rate your invoice of all VAT, although you are responsible for all export deadlines being met. For further information on Bonhams-preferred shippers, please contact the Sale Administration Manager.

If you are shipping with a Third-Party shipper
If you choose to ship with a third-party shipper, Bonhams will require your invoice to be settled inclusive of all VAT. The VAT will be refunded to you on receipt of valid Proof of Export. To submit a claim for refund of VAT, the lot is legally required to be exported within strict deadlines. For lots on which Import VAT has been charged (marked in the catalogue with a Ω) lots must be exported within 30 days of Bonhams' receipt of payment and/or within 3 months of the date of the Sale, whichever is the earlier. For all other lots export must take place within the same stated timeline.
