Humbert & Ellis Ltd is a respected auction house based in Northamptonshire, UK, specialising in the sale of vintage, classic and modern classic vehicles. With roots stretching back to 1842, the Humbert family name has long been associated with trusted auctioneering expertise across generations.

Led by Jonathan Humbert - an eighth-generation auctioneer with over two decades of experience in international vehicle sales - the company has gained a reputation for dynamic auctions and record-breaking results. Jonathan’s charismatic style and market knowledge have helped establish numerous world records, from iconic 'Fast Fords' to pre- and post-war classics, all while expanding the reach of classic car auctions to a global online audience.

Humbert & Ellis embraces innovation with timed online auctions, allowing vendors to list vehicles directly from their premises. This forward-thinking approach reduces the need for transport and storage, streamlining the process for both buyers and sellers.

As part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability, the company plants a tree for every vehicle sold. These are grown on Humbert & Ellis holdings in Hertfordshire and Northamptonshire, helping to offset emissions and promote a more environmentally responsible approach to classic car ownership.
