Collectibles hold their value
Collecting Cars’ sales results in June 2025 showed the collector car markets in Australia and New Zealand remain strong.
This online auction platform for the sale of classic, performance and collectible cars delivered around A$7 million in sales from 96 lots in Australia in June, with auction lots selling each day of the month.
June’s sales tally brought the company’s Australian year-to-date sales total to just under 600 consignments, which is 47 percent higher than this time last year.
“Australasian collector car sales remained solid despite the current economic sentiment, global news headlines and cold mid-year weather,” said Collecting Cars’ Lee Hallett.
Sale highlights from June 2025 included: 2022 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series – NZD $740,000; 2019 McLaren 720S – AUD $329,000; 1999 Nissan Skyline (R34) GT-R V Spec – AUD $203,501; 2022 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS with Weissach Pack – AUD $286,002 and a 1986 Holden Commodore HDTV L SS Group A Plus Pack – AUD $120,000.
An array of heritage number plate sales during June indicates local demand for rare and low-number combinations remained strong. Examples included: Q77 – Queensland Heritage plate – AUD $565,000; 47 – NSW Motorcycle number plate – AUD $75,000 and 78 – West Australian Heritage number plate – AUD $173,388.
Collecting Cars has a number of special and rare auction lots available in July, some of which will be showcased at the annual Noosa Concours, to be held on 19 July.
