Formed in 2011 and formerly known as Silverstone Auctions, Iconic Auctioneers is an automotive specialist auction house and were the UK Market Leader for live car auctions in 2023 and 2021.

The company was started by Nick Whale, British racing driver and former main dealer for a number of prestigious brands including Porsche and Ferrari. Formerly known as Silverstone Auctions, the company rebranded in August 2023 to Iconic Auctioneers, a name that better reflects the unique and diverse range of our auctions today.

The auction house has become the favoured auctioneer of enthusiasts, collectors and investors from around the globe, repeatedly breaking auction world records at almost every sale.
