Thanks to everyone who checked out the Jobs Board we launched last week. The response has been far better than we expected, and we've already made one big change.

From now on, it'll be updated every Sunday (and sometimes during the week as new roles come in), so when you start your week you'll be looking at the latest opportunities across the collector car industry, not listings that are already a week old.

We've also added two more companies with current openings: Classic.com and SOMO, with another couple of platforms due to be added shortly.

That said, this is only the beginning.

Right now we're covering the major online auction platforms, but the collector car world is much bigger than that. Over the coming weeks and months we'll be adding the traditional auction houses, regional consignors, specialist dealers, restoration shops, museums, motorsport businesses, in-person events like Pebble Beach, and plenty more. Our goal is simple: if there's a great career opportunity in this industry, we want you to find it in one place.

If you know of a company we're missing, or you're hiring yourself, just reply to this email. We'd love to include you.

What you can already do:

• Browse jobs from multiple companies in one place.

• Filter by company to see who's hiring.

• Sort by location, whether you're looking for remote roles, the UK, Australia or elsewhere.

• Search by department, including Sales, Engineering, Operations and more.

• Apply directly through the employer's own careers page.

Just like our shipping calculators, it's completely free. No login required. No subscriptions. No nonsense.

We're building this for the community, and we'll keep expanding it every week. And trust me, this is just the start. We've got some exciting new tools coming very soon. Watch out for an announcement….

I've said it many times before, collections are one of the smartest ways to market cars.

We've seen almost every auction platform lean into them over the past few years. Some have done a fantastic job of telling the story behind the collection and the person who assembled it, while others simply let the cars do the talking. Either way, collections almost always create more interest than a handful of unrelated listings. Someone turns up to look at one car, and before they know it they're browsing ten.

That's exactly what caught my attention this week on duPont REGISTRY Live.

The platform is currently featuring the SFX Collection, with eight of the ten cars already live. The only thing I kept asking myself was, what exactly is the SFX Collection? The cars are certainly interesting, but beyond it being a single-consignor offering, we're not really told the story behind the name or the collection itself. Knowing duPont REGISTRY Live though, that's probably intentional. They seem happy to let the cars speak for themselves rather than build a marketing campaign around the collector.

And to be fair, the cars don't need much help. The collection includes everything from a Ford GT MkII and a Saleen S7 LM to a Porsche 911 Sport Classic, alongside modern American muscle and several other interesting consignments. It's one of the more diverse collections we've seen appear online for quite some time.

What also makes this particularly interesting is that every one of these cars is selling No Reserve. That's something I've always liked about duPont REGISTRY Live. Once the auction starts, buyers know the cars are going to sell. There's no second guessing whether a reserve will get in the way or whether the seller will decide not to let it go. Someone is leaving with every one of these cars.

A few weeks ago I highlighted three new auction platforms that were getting ready to launch. Starting something like this has to be equal parts exciting and terrifying. Building the website is one thing, but convincing that first seller to trust you with their car and that first bidder to register is another challenge entirely. So when one of those platforms officially went live this week, I thought it deserved a little support. Hopefully you can also show it some support by clicking here to the site.

At the moment there are motorcycles, some mancave memorabilia and a handful of other items on the site, but as you all know, cars are what I understand, so that's where I'm keeping my attention. The first car to catch my eye is this 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente RestoMod, and it's certainly not a bad way to kick things off. It's a ground-up build with a Roadster Shop chassis, Coyote V8, five-speed manual and what the seller says is over $150,000 invested. Whether that's your style or not, it's a serious piece of kit.

One thing I immediately liked wasn't actually the car. It was the way they've handled the seller disclosures. Instead of burying everything in paragraphs of text, they've reduced the important questions to a simple checklist. Has it been repainted? Yes. Any rust? No. Any accidents? No. Any known mechanical issues? No. Service history? Yes. Two keys? Yes. It takes about ten seconds to scan and gives buyers a quick overview before they dive into the full description. It's a small detail, but I think it's a sensible one.

Launching an auction platform today isn't easy. Sellers have more choice than ever, buyers already have their favourite places to browse, and liquidity takes time to build. Every successful platform started with one listing, one bidder and one successful sale. Hopefully this Mercury Comet becomes one of many.

If nothing else, it's always good to see new ideas entering the space. More competition generally means more innovation, and that's something that benefits all of us, whether you're buying, selling or simply spending far too much time browsing collector cars online like the rest of us. Good luck to them.

If one of today's cars has caught your eye, don't just look at the hammer price.
