Contents

It was founded in 1972 and was the longest-running printed price guide available to the general public. It expanded over the years to offer reviews, technical data and marketplace intelligence along with pricing. The portfolio of products has been edited by Keith Adams since 2016.

More recently, the title has moved the majority of resources to its online activities and shifted its emphasis from being merely a valuations resource to a fully featured research tool for car buyers. The Parkers website has expanded to include cars and vans for sale, new and used car reviews, advice articles, finance and news. Typically, the website attracts around three million users per month, according to Comscore, HitWise and GA data.

Parkers also offers valuations, reviews and news for commercial vehicles (vans and pickups), and the section is headed by Tom Webster. Since 2008, Parkers has been owned and published by the German company Bauer Media Group. [2]
