More than 450 classic, prestige and muscle car vehicles were up for bidding during a marathon 11-hour classic car event conducted by Lloyds Auctions on October 30.
A 1990 Holden Commodore VN SS Group A 1 of only 302 built sold for $385,000 under the hammer and, a 1963 Mercedes-Benz 190SL convertible sold for $245,000.
The event was live streamed from 10am until 10pm to local and international viewers.
Lloyds Auctions report successful sales of American muscle, prestige European classics as well as highly anticipated Ford and Holden models.
“From the podium I could see the confidence in the bidding, there was an incredibly strong sell- through rate under the hammer with the majority of the remaining cars to sell under referral in the next 24-48 hours,” Lloyd Auctions chief operations officer Lee Hames says.
“We had comments on our live stream from international viewers, one I recall from Phoenix, Arizona in the US which is really exciting for us and a testament to the entire team’s hard work and dedication to make this event happen over the last few months.
“We are just so thrilled that Australians tuned in and stayed with us until the very end, we still had thousands watching right up until nearly 10pm,” he says.
