Welcome to this month’s development update for Classic Car Auction Results. Firstly let’s take a look back at the January update, and what we achieved:

1. All auction houses are now up to date, and we will very shortly be adding Silverstone into the mix. We want to add at least one auction house per month, and are working on different ways to get data into our databases, including via API. If you’d like to be involved as an auction house, please do get in touch!

2. We are now tracking future auctions, and showing them separately to our historic auction results. A side element of our work on this was also identifying two additional types of result:

a. Where auction results are pending, so we can hopefully identify where auction houses are slow in giving out the results.
b. Where the cars were unsold at auction, which we think is very interesting information in case you wanted to follow up independently, so helping liquidity in the market!

For February, in addition to the items laid out above, our aim revolves around being able to show the auction house results / search on different parts of our site, using what we call ‘short codes’. This ability to embed the results elsewhere is a key step in our next goal – allowing people to embed the auction results search, tables and graphs on their own websites. We think this will be a really interesting tool for anyone with involvement with classic cars – clubs, bloggers, auction houses, and many many more!

Coupled with the work on getting more data into the database, in different ways, this is a pretty big undertaking, so let’s see how we get on! As ever, if there’s something else you’d like us to focus on or any other comments or feedback you might have then please do let us know here.
