FAQs

Pawning your classic car with New Bond Street Pawnbrokers in Mayfair offers significant advantages over selling. You retain ownership of your cherished vehicle, which may appreciate in value over time. This allows you to access quick funds while preserving your investment in the collector car market.

Our expert appraisers use auction-based car valuations to determine your vehicle’s worth. We consider factors like make, model, condition, rarity, and recent sales of similar classic vehicles. This ensures you receive a fair, market-driven valuation for your vintage automobile loan.

Loan amounts typically range from 50-70% of the car’s appraised value. The exact figure is determined case-by-case and depends on factors like the vehicle’s condition, rarity, and market demand.

You’ll need to provide proof of ownership, vehicle registration, and a valid form of identification. Any documentation of the car’s history, maintenance records, or provenance is also highly recommended.

As London’s premier collector car pawnbrokers, we accept a wide range of prestigious marques. You can pawn Ferrari, Aston Martin, Porsche, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, and other high-value classic vehicles at our Mayfair location.

No, we don’t charge early repayment penalties. You’re welcome to redeem your loan at any time without additional fees.

In the event of non-repayment, we have a structured process to address the situation fairly. We prioritise working with you to find alternative solutions, such as extending the loan term or adjusting the repayment plan. We understand your classic car’s sentimental and financial value and aim to avoid selling it if possible. However, if all other options are exhausted, we may need to sell the vehicle to recover the borrowed amount.

Yes, you’re required to maintain insurance coverage on your classic vehicle throughout the loan period. The insurance should cover the full value of the car and include comprehensive coverage against theft, damage, and other potential risks. We recommend consulting with a specialist classic car insurer to ensure you have the appropriate coverage.

Generally, no. Once you borrow against classic vehicles with us, they remain securely stored in our facility to protect their condition and value.
