FROM OUR CLIENTS

  • "Dealing with Nick was a pleasure. He's extremely knowledgeable, straightforward and really good to do business with. Nothing was too much trouble and he has an excellent team around him. If I had another car to sell I wouldn't hesitate to use Nick's services again."
    Nigel, Frome
    September 2023

  • "I was very happy with the service provided and the price achieved. Good strategy on the reserve which helped potential purchasers remain interested in the DB9."
    Robert, Exeter
    September 2023

  • "I entered two cars in the September classic car auction. They both sold and I was very pleased with the results. Dore and Rees staff were enthusiastic and helpful."
    Mark, Bristol
    September 2023

  • "We used Dore & Rees earlier this year to sell some of our classic car collection. I have to say that the overall experience was excellent and the service level afforded by Nick Wells was second to none. The level of detail and communication was superfluous and payment was prompt too."
    Andrew, Winchester
    March 2023

  • “I just wanted to say thank you very much for all of your help during my purchase of a classic car at your recent auction. Your customer care is excellent both during and indeed after the sale. I very much appreciate all of your help and cannot recommend your team highly enough. I look forward to the next sale”

NICK WELLS

HEAD OF MOTORING

 

A lifelong classic car enthusiast, Nick restored his first classic car, a Triumph Spitfire, whilst still in his teens, and owns it to the present day. The Spitfire is now joined by a brace of coach built 1960s' Lancia GTs, a 1980s Porsche 911, a Peugeot 205 GTi 1.9 and an early BMW 6-Series with some interesting history.

Nick studied Business and German at university, spending time with BMW in Munich, followed by a successful career in marketing. Feeling the urge to align his career more closely to his interests, Nick moved into the international classic car auction business some years ago, quickly establishing himself as a specialist and valuer, and later an auctioneer.

Nick has presided over classic auction sales in the UK and Europe, and as far afield as South Africa, and has consulted on valuations and sales of both individual cars and collections. In 2021 Nick was delighted to be invited to join the expert panel of the ITV show The Car Years, taking two cars from a year in motoring history and pitching them against each-other to pick a winner.

Dore & Rees' Motoring department has grown since 2021, the team is joined by local car specialists Mike Reed and Leo Scott, and well-known Classic Motorcycle specialist John Nash.

When not tinkering with old cars Nick can either be found in the garden or on his road bike, running for his chosen charity Trinity Hospice in London, or enjoying his new hobby of clay pigeon shooting.
