Nick Smith Car and Motorcycle Appraisal Services
I started in the car industry in 2002 in sales with Symbolic Motors in Beverly Hills and then as Bentley Sale Manager in La Jolla dealing with the very highest quality and value of cars. In 2005 I joined the team at Bentley Beverly Hills, as Bentley Sales Manager. In 2007, I moved to the auction business, taking a position with Bonhams Auctioneers as a Specialist in the motorcar department and in 2009 running their US motorcycle division. In 2017, I left to take a position with Barrett-Jackson Auctions, responsible for The Salon, their high-end, primarily European classic car department. In 2019, I started my own dealership and brokerage firm, Chiltern Motorcar Company. In the meantime, I have been a feature on several television shows – Sticker Shock (Discovery), Geared Up (Motor Trend) and Rust To Riches (Netflix) – appraising cars on camera. Specific to my appraisal services, I am CPAP certified
