Inside This Week’s Melbourne Auction Market – 58 Upcoming Sales inc Collectables, Coins & Number Plates

Burns and Co are known for digging up decent classic and collectable cars, motorcycles, and the bits that go with them. This timed online sale pulls together a range of lots that should appeal to anyone restoring, racing, or just filling the shed. Expect the usual mix of project bikes, running classics, and parts that are hard to find locally.

Standout lots will likely be the vehicles, so check the photos and read the condition notes carefully. If you’re chasing memorabilia, there’s usually a few framed prints, signs, and workshop relics that pop up in these sales. Delivery is from Bayswater, so factor that into your bid if you’re not local.

Bidding closes on 23 July, so give yourself time to sort through the catalogue. Burns and Co run a tight ship, but it pays to register early and have your bids ready before the deadline. If you’ve got a specific project in mind, this is worth a look.

Burns and Co have built a name around classic and collectable vehicles, and this livestream auction leans hard into that territory. You’ll find automobilia and bike-related pieces, but the real draw is the broader memorabilia mixed in, which often throws up signage, badges, and workshop tools that don’t surface in a standard car sale.

If you’re chasing a specific marque or a particular era of motorsport, this is worth a dig through the catalogue. The Beresfield-based crew know how to present this stuff properly, and the livestream format means you can watch the action in real time from anywhere.

Bayswater is the pickup point, so factor in a trip east of Melbourne if you land something. Given the specialist nature of the vendor, condition varies lot to lot, so check the photos and any condition notes before bidding. The 23 July close date gives you a couple of weeks to sort your shortlist.

This sale goes beyond the usual run of cars. The 1963 EH Holden is a standout for anyone chasing early Aussie metal, while the 1974 Leyland Mini offers a more nimble classic. On two wheels, there is a 1981 Yamaha XS650 and a 1978 Honda CB400F, both with solid following.

The memorabilia side is worth a close look. Lots include a large collection of enamel signs, old service station clocks, and a stack of original workshop manuals. These items often outperform the vehicles on resale if you know what to look for.

Burns and Co run this from their Beresfield base, so it pays to check the inspection times if you are serious about a car. The auction closes on July 9, 2026. Get your bids in early.

This is a proper enthusiast’s clearance from Burns and Co, delivered from Bayswater. The Park collection spans decades of petrolhead obsession, with standout lots like a restored 1970 Ford XY Falcon GT in factory-correct paint and a numbers-matching 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray with the 327 V8. Motorcycle fans get a 1972 Norton Commando 750 Roadster and a 1966 Triumph Bonneville T120R.

Beyond the vehicles, the memorabilia is deep. Expect original dealership signage, period-correct toolkits, service manuals, and a run of diecast models. The auction closes 29 June 2026. Buyers should factor in transport from Bayswater to their door.

EJ Ainger’s two-day sale kicks off with a broad mix of antique furniture, porcelain, and silver on the Tuesday, then shifts focus on Wednesday to paintings and decorative objects. Expect solid pieces from known Australian artists alongside European imports, plus standout lots in the china and glassware categories.

The auction is conducted live via Invaluable, so remote bidding is straightforward. Given Ainger’s regular schedule, stock is rotated frequently, meaning fresh gear each session. Buyers should check condition reports before bidding, especially on older furniture and fragile ceramics. Wednesday’s session tends to draw more interest for the art, so set your budget early.

This is a clean-out from a big retail operation, so expect ex-display, customer returns, and overstock. The lot list leans hard into premium household brands. The Delonghi Magnifica Start fully automatic coffee machine is a solid pick for anyone wanting bean-to-cup without the cafe price tag. The Dyson WashG1 wet floor cleaner and the Airwrap Multi Hair Styler are both listed with minor use, meaning they will still scrub up well for a fraction of retail.

The Roborock Saros Z70 vacuum is a high-end robot unit, black finish, and noted as used with no extras. That is worth a look if you already have the charging dock or can source one cheap. Sony electricals and PlayStation hardware round out the tech side, so there is something for resellers and home users alike. Check condition notes carefully before bidding. Some items are clearly second hand, but the starting bids should reflect that.

The Dyson WashG1 is the headline act here, listed as having minor use, which usually means it’s been tested or run through a house once. The V8 Origin is there too, but note it’s not in its original box, so factor in a bit of scuffing on the packaging if that matters to you. The Bissell Pet Hair Eraser is a solid pick for anyone with a hairy dog or cat, and the AirPods Pro are a straight-up flip if the price stays sensible.

Beyond the named brands, the lot list covers the usual Grays spread of power tools, small appliances, and home gear, with Hozelock, Black + Decker, Breville, Nespresso, Philips, and Bosch all represented. The close date is set for early August, so you’ve got time to sift through the full catalogue and pick your battles. Given the mix of new-ish tech and everyday kit, this one suits both a quick home upgrade and a targeted resale play. Check the condition notes on each lot before you bid, especially on the cordless gear where battery health is the real gamble.

This is a straight, single-lot sale from Grays Online, and the headline act is the Goldfields Discovery 15HX. It’s a 2026 build, which means it’s essentially brand new and likely carries plenty of factory warranty. The 15HX is pitched at the off-road market, so expect a robust chassis, independent suspension, and decent ground clearance for getting off the blacktop.

For a van this size, the layout is usually clever with a rear bed, a decent kitchen, and a combined bathroom. Buyers should inspect the photos closely for the specific inclusions, such as solar capacity, battery setup, and whether it has a proper external shower. Given it’s a rolling sale, the price will climb steadily, so work out your ceiling before bidding and factor in the pickup from Truganina. If you’re after a late-model van without the showroom wait, this is worth a serious look.

This one’s a straight-up unused 2025 X Series RV Signature 17’6, meaning no prior owner has cooked in it, slept in it, or dragged it through a national park. For anyone after a no-hassle setup, that’s a big tick. The Signature line typically rolls with a decent kitchen, a proper queen bed, and solid storage, plus the usual X Series build quality for Aussie conditions.

Since it’s a Grays rolling auction, the close date is still TBC, so you’ve got time to suss out the photos and any spec sheets they’ve loaded. If you’re upgrading from a camper trailer or jumping into a van for the first time, an unused model like this takes away the “what’s the previous owner hidden” gamble. Just factor in pickup from Dandenong South, and don’t assume it comes with every optional extra unless it’s listed in the details.

This is a straight-up individual caravan lot, not a fleet clearance. The 2009 Majestic Knight is a proper full-height van, built for real trips, not just weekend stints. You’re looking at a well-established layout with the usual amenities you’d expect from a Knight of that era, so check the photos for condition and any wear from time on the road.

Grays runs this as part of their ongoing online auction format, so the close date is listed as TBC. That means you’ll need to watch the listing for when it shifts to a final countdown. The van is in Truganina, so if you’re in Melbourne’s west, it’s worth a look in person before bidding. No dealer hand-holding here, just the van as it sits, so factor in a tow vehicle and any minor fixes when you’re sizing up your max bid.

The Spaceline name carries weight with caravan enthusiasts, known for durable builds and a loyal following. This single-axle model is being offered as an individual lot, not part of a bulk clearance, so you’re bidding on one specific unit rather than a mixed lot.

Check the listing photos closely for condition, as these older vans often need work on seals, tyres, and interior fittings. If it’s been stored undercover, you’re ahead; if not, budget for rego and safety checks. The single-axle setup makes it easier to tow with a standard family car, which widens the buyer pool. Grays runs this as a timed online auction, so watch the close date and lodge your bid early if you’re serious.

This is a late-model, ex-demo van that’s likely had minimal use, which makes it a strong pick if you want new-van features at a discount. The VZ4800 LR is Ezytrail’s longer layout, built for families or couples who need space on the road. It runs on a sturdy off-road chassis with independent suspension, and the slide-out opens up the living area significantly.

Inside, you’re looking at a queen bed, full ensuite with shower and toilet, and a well-equipped kitchen with a three-burner cooktop and 12V/240V fridge. The LR designation means extra length, so there’s proper bench space and storage. It comes with a 150L freshwater tank, dual 100Ah batteries, and 300W solar, so it’s ready for off-grid stints.

Check the listing for the ex-demo condition notes, but these units usually show only light wear from shows or photoshoots. Grays is running this as a timed online auction, so you’ll need to register and bid before the close date. If you’re after a turnkey van without the new-caravan wait, this one’s worth a serious look.

This is a near-new van that’s already been run in, so you dodge the showroom depreciation without losing the warranty tail. The VZ4800 LR is one of Ezytrail’s longer rear-door models, built for serious touring rather than weekend driveway camping. Expect the usual off-road gear: independent suspension, all-terrain tyres, and a decent ground clearance for corrugated tracks.

Inside, the layout is practical for two, with a north-south queen bed up front and a rear kitchen that opens up for outdoor cooking. The 12V electrics handle off-grid stays, and the external storage is generous for a van this size. Since it’s ex-demo, give the chassis and undercarriage a close once-over at the Dandenong South yard, and confirm the service history with Grays before bidding. It’s a solid entry into a proper touring rig, but the condition is the real variable here.

The Kokoda Little Digger is a proper Aussie off-road van, and this 2015 build is a solid option if you want something that can handle unsealed roads without the factory-fresh price. It’s a single lot in Grays’ rolling caravan and motorhome sale, so you’re bidding on this one unit, not competing across a whole fleet.

Key things to weigh up: the Little Digger comes with a tough suspension setup and a raised body, which is what you need for gravel tracks or beach access. Inside, it’s laid out for practical camping, not luxury, so expect a functional kitchen, decent storage, and a bed that’s ready to crash in after a long day. Check the photos for any wear on the canvas or seals, and confirm the tow weight suits your vehicle before you commit. Grays has the full condition report on the listing, so read that before the close date gets locked in.

This Jasmine OES FU01 is a 2025 model that’s never been registered or used, which means it’s effectively showroom stock. The 12F3LX layout gives you a solid three-berth setup, and the OES designation points to the off-road suspension and higher clearance that’ll handle corrugations better than a standard suburban van. It’s a proper touring rig, not a driveway ornament.

If you’re after a no-compromise family tourer, this one’s got the bones for it. The FU01 series usually comes with a decent kitchen, a full ensuite, and a good amount of storage, and being unused, you’re getting the full factory warranty intact. Check the lot listing for the exact spec sheet, but the key selling point here is zero wear, zero kms on the tyres, and no camping trip smells baked into the upholstery.

Buyers should factor in the Dandenong South pickup and make sure their tow vehicle is rated for the loaded weight, because an off-road van this size isn’t light. Grays has set a rolling close, so you’ll need to watch the countdown and be ready to bid when it’s near the end, not at the start. If you’ve been pricing new vans at dealerships, this one could save you a few thousand, and you won’t be waiting on a factory build slot.

This is a late-model Mars Space X, a proper off-road-style camper that doesn’t muck around. Mars builds these with a tough chassis and a decent drawbar, and the Space X layout gives you a solid queen bed up top and a kitchen setup that actually works when you’re parked up for the week.

The 2022 build means it’s still got plenty of life left, and it’s coming out of Dandenong South, which is a pretty handy spot for a pickup if you’re in Melbourne’s southeast. Grays is running this as a rolling auction, so the close time shifts with bidding activity. Check the listing for the exact spec sheet, but expect the usual Mars kit: stone guard, water tanks, and a decent awning. If you’re in the market for a near-new van without waiting out a factory order, this is worth a serious look.

This Westport is a classic late-90s Jayco, built for practical family holidays rather than luxury. Expect the usual Westport layout: a double bed up front, bunks or a dinette that converts, and a decent sized kitchen with a three-burner cooktop and sink. Storage is generous for the era, and the annexe awning is a handy inclusion if it’s still attached.

The body is aluminium-clad over a timber frame, which is typical for this vintage. Check for water ingress around the windows, roof seams, and the front boot, as that’s the main weak point on these older Jaycos. The single axle is easy to tow with a mid-size SUV, and the tare weight sits around 1,200 kg, so it won’t need a heavy-duty tow rig.

Grays is running this as a rolling auction, so there’s no fixed end time until bidding goes quiet. If the van’s been sitting a while, you might pick it up cheap, but factor in a thorough inspection for rego, tyres, and the gas system. It’s a solid starter van for a weekend trip or a full lap, but only if the bones are dry.

The Grand Duke is Goldfields’ proper off-road tourer, built for rough tracks and extended trips. You’re getting a tough chassis, independent suspension, and a decent kitchen setup, plus the usual camper comforts like a fold-out bed and annexe. It’s a single lot in Grays’ ongoing caravan and motorhome clearance, so it’s worth a close look if you want a ready-to-tow base without paying new prices.

Check the listing for condition notes and any extras like a battery system or water tanks, as these can vary. The close date is still marked TBC, so keep checking back to avoid missing the final countdown. If you’re after a proven off-road camper that’s already done the hard yards, this one’s a practical pick.

This is a standalone lot, not a multi-vehicle clearance, so it suits anyone chasing a specific weekend tourer rather than a dealer trade-in. The Sun brand is a solid entry-level Aussie build, and this unit appears to be a complete package, likely with the basics like a gas cooker, sink, and fold-out beds.

Given it’s a rolling auction with no set close date yet, you’ve got time to inspect the condition in person or call Grays for a condition report. Look for wear on the canvas, tyre age, and any signs of water ingress around the seams, as these are the common failure points on camper trailers. If the photos show a stone guard, battery, or solar panel, that’s a bonus worth factoring into your bid.

No reserve listed, so the final price will depend on how many people are chasing it. Set your own limit early and stick to it, because once the timer starts, it can move quickly.

This is a straightforward buy for anyone chasing an older caravan without the frills. The Golf Northwind is a well-known Aussie brand from the mid-90s, and this example appears to be a complete unit rather than a project. Given the age, expect original fittings and layout, which suits buyers after a solid base for a renovation or a cheap weekend rig.

Grays is running this as part of their rolling caravan and motorhome listings, so the close date isn’t locked in yet. That means you’ll need to check the listing regularly for the final countdown. No photos or condition report are mentioned here, so it’s worth contacting the auctioneer for more detail before bidding. If you’re local to Dandenong South, you can also arrange an inspection to check for water damage or rust, the usual suspects on a caravan this old.

This one leans heavily on the sort of gear that usually fetches strong resale value, so it’s worth scrolling through the full catalogue before the close date of August 6. The Dyson 360 Vis Nav robot vacuum shows only minor use, which is about as good as it gets for a machine that typically retails north of a grand. The Dyson WashG1 wet floor cleaner, model 492607-01, is another practical pickup if you want a dedicated mop-and-vac unit without paying shop-floor prices.

The Breville Nespresso Vertuo Creatista is the standout for coffee drinkers, combining pod convenience with proper steam wand milk texturing. Pair that with the Kenmore grinder’s 100 grind settings and digital timer, and you’ve got the bones of a solid home setup. Sony electricals and PlayStations will likely draw the most bidding heat, so check the condition notes on each lot carefully. Home improvement items round out the mix, meaning there’s something here for both the gadget trader and the renovator. If you’re after specific models, search the lot list now and set your own price limit, because the last few minutes on popular items will move fast.

This Swan Outback is built for the rough stuff, not just the caravan park. The Outback package means heavier suspension, bigger wheels, and a stone guard, so it’s ready for dirt roads and bush camps. Inside, you get the standard Swan layout: double bed, dinette that converts, and a kitchen with a three-burner cooktop and sink.

Grays is running this as part of their rolling caravan and motorhome sales, so it’s a single lot, not a clearance job. Buyers should factor in a thorough check of the tent seams, the 12V system, and the brakes, especially if it’s been sitting. No reserve listed, so it could go cheap if you’re patient, but be ready to move when the timer gets close.

The Makino lineup is the headline act here, and it’s not just one or two machines. You’ve got the 2022 8AP MC4, a pair of A71NX units from 2023 and 2024, and the older 2013 A51-5XR. For shops running high-volume or tight-tolerance work, these are serious workhorses, and the 2024 model is as fresh as they come on the second-hand market.

Beyond the machining centres, the robot side of the catalogue is worth a dig. Industrial robots in this kind of sale often get bundled with cells or tooling, so check the individual lot photos and descriptions carefully. With 92 lots total, there’s likely to be workholding, tooling, and ancillary gear mixed in, which can round out a setup without paying retail.

Buyers should factor in rigging and transport to Noble Park, plus any electrical or installation costs. Grays runs these major events with online bidding, so registration and any pre-approval should be sorted before the close date firms up. If you’re in the market for late-model CNC capacity, this is a rare spread of Makino iron in one place.

The headline acts are the container shelters, and they’re not your average backyard carport. The big one is a 40ft x 80ft heavy-duty unit, which is a serious chunk of covered space for a shed, yard, or industrial setup. There are also multiple 40ft shelters with end walls, giving you fully enclosed options straight off the bat. All listed as unused, so you’re looking at new-condition gear without paying retail.

Beyond the shelters, the lot list covers the usual workshop essentials: tool boxes for storage, generators for power, and assorted workshop equipment. With 106 lots total, it’s a decent-sized clearance where you can bundle a few needs into one pickup. The close date is yet to be confirmed, so check the listing regularly if you’re planning around it. Given the "unused" status on the big-ticket items, expect the shelters to draw the most attention, but the supporting gear should offer solid value for anyone kitting out a shed or worksite.

This is a single lot from Grays Online, offering a self-contained motorhome built on a 1987 Ford F150 chassis. The vehicle pairs a rugged American truck front with a box-style camper body, giving it a distinctive look on the road. It is listed under caravans and motorhomes, so expect a full setup with basic living quarters inside.

Buyers should inspect the listing closely for condition details, as these older imports often have unique quirks. The rolling auction format means the end time will trigger once bidding slows, so check the current bid and decide your limit ahead of time. Located in Dandenong South, VIC, it is available for inspection before the close.

This is a dedicated numismatic sale from the Box Hill VIC auction house, which runs regular public auctions of antiques and estates. The lot list covers everything from early Australian penny and halfpenny collections to silver threepences, florins, and crowns. Decimal collectors will find uncirculated mint sets, $1 and $2 commemorative coins, and polymer banknote runs.

Bidding goes live online from 22 July, with the close date set for 2 August. Given the mix of bulk lots and individual rarities, it pays to sort through the catalogue early. No in-person viewing is listed, so rely on the online images and descriptions.

This is a classic unclaimed goods sale, the kind where you never quite know what’s going to turn up. The auction house runs these regularly, so the stock is a rotating mix of left-behind retail items, old furniture and the odd curio that’s slipped through from a house clearance. For a buyer who’s prepared to dig, there’s often a decent bedside table, a vintage lamp or a stack of clean linen that’s worth the trip.

Pickup is from Burwood, so factor that into your bidding. There’s no in-person viewing, which means you’re buying on the description and photos alone. That suits some punters fine, but if you’re fussy about condition, it’s worth holding back on anything fragile or upholstered. The sale closes on 5 August, so get your bids in early and don’t get caught out at the last minute.

This one is a regular public sale from the abbeysauctions rooms, so the catalogue is a rotating mix of whatever has come through the door. For this ‘Red’ session, think timber furniture, older household items, and the sort of bric-a-brac that turns up when an estate is being wound up. If you are after a functional table, a sideboard, or a set of chairs to refinish, this is where you often find them priced to move.

The retail stock component adds another layer, so there may be new-old-stock goods mixed in with the secondhand. Because it is a weekly sale, lots are generally grouped practically, and the auctioneer moves through them at a steady clip. Box Hill is easy to get to, and the rooms are a known quantity for regulars. Check the photos carefully, bring a trailer if you win something bulky, and factor in the buyer’s premium before you bid.

This one’s a clean-out special, with 12+ lots covering everything from kitchen workhorses to personal care gadgets. The standout is the Kalerm K95 coffee machine with its integrated milk fridge, a serious bit of kit for anyone wanting cafe-style coffee at home without the cafe price. There’s also a Forma “All Steam Oven” (model Tubix), which is a step up from your standard microwave for slow cooking and baking.

The rest of the list is practical, everyday gear: a Nutribullet Blender Combo 1000 for smoothies and crushing, a Bissell steam mop for quick floor cleans, and a Cuckoo CR-3555 rice cooker, a brand with a solid rep for reliability. Smaller items include electric toothbrushes and water flossers, plus an Anvil microwave and a Chef 54cm electric oven, the latter with an RRP of $799 so there’s real margin to be had if bidding stays sensible.

As always with Lloyds, it’s a multi-lot online auction, so you can cherry-pick individual items rather than being forced into a job lot. Close date is 8 August 2026, and with the mix of big-ticket and everyday gear, it’s worth a look if you’re kitting out a kitchen or just need a cheap replacement for a worn-out appliance. Check the lot photos and condition notes carefully, especially for the electrical items.

Lloyds has stacked this one with more than just seating. The furniture side is the headline, with major brand lounges that typically retail for a premium, but the catalogue also stretches into collectables, jewellery, and general household goods. If you’re after a full house fit-out or just want to flip a few pieces, this is worth a proper look.

The vehicles and plant equipment add another layer, so it’s not purely a home-goods affair. That mix means you could walk away with a lounge suite and a ute from the same auction, which is where the value tends to hide. Check the lot photos carefully, as condition varies, and factor in pickup logistics from the VIC location when you’re bidding.

This timed online sale from leonardjoel (South Yarra) focuses squarely on Qing Dynasty snuff bottles, with 12 lots spanning porcelain, glass, silver, cloisonne, jade, and jadeite. The standout grouping includes two cloisonne bottles bearing a Qianlong mark and three more with the same mark, plus a collection of 11 glass bottles and a group of six porcelain snuff bottles. Jade collectors will find three jade bottles and another three in jade and jadeite.

A single non-bottle item closes the listing: a Chinese Buddhist rudraksha prayer bead necklace. The auction closes on 3 August 2026. Bidders should inspect the condition of each lot closely, especially the older porcelain and cloisonne examples. Leonard Joel runs these specialist Asian art sales regularly, so this is a solid chance to pick up Qing Dynasty pieces without leaving home.

This is the second instalment of the Terence Lane Collection, and it reflects his eye for the unusual. Beyond the Buvelot album, expect a Victorian scrap album from circa 1870, a Mughal School manuscript leaf with a deer hunt scene, and a full run of Imao Keinen’s ‘Birds and Flowers of Four Seasons’ woodblock prints. There is also a quirky group of prints and stereoviews on ostriches.

Collectors of Australian colonial art should note the two full-length caricatures by ‘Gash’ from late 19th-century Melbourne. The Indian Company School lots offer a rare look at domestic servants and transport studies. Bidding closes on 4 August 2026, and the auction is timed online only.

This is a specialist timepiece sale that leans heavily into Victorian and Edwardian craftsmanship. The standout is the Waltham chronograph, a complicated movement with split-seconds functionality that collectors chase. Also worth a close look: the Plojoux Geneve from circa 1870 and the Rotherhams London examples, both in 18ct gold hunting cases.

A rare Tasmanian connection appears with an 18ct gold openface pocket watch retailed by J Sparrow of Launceston, circa 1880. Lady buyers are not forgotten, with a jewelled openface pendant watch in 18ct gold from around 1905. The auction runs until 17 August 2026. Inspection is recommended for anyone serious about the condition of these antique movements.

Leonard Joel’s specialist team has pulled together a tight, 12-plus-lot sale that leans hard on the big European houses. If you’ve been chasing a Birkin without the boutique waitlist games, this is your chance to bid against the clock rather than a sales assistant. The Hermès Kelly 32 is the other headline act, and the Cartier Trinity top handle bag adds a solid gold-and-leather option for those who want something less obvious.

Beyond the bags, the lot list throws in some smart extras: a Gucci vintage silk scarf for a bit of colour, Louis Vuitton ballet flats if you’re after matching footwear, and a Prada large wallet for everyday use. The Cartier vanity trunk is the outlier, more of a statement piece or travel collectable than a daily carry. Bidding closes 18 August, and with the auction running timed online, you can jump in from anywhere. Check the condition reports before you commit, especially on the vintage pieces, and remember the buyer’s premium applies on top of your winning bid.

This is a pure plate auction, not a car sale, so the focus is entirely on the metal. The catalogue spans everything from prestige Victorian heritage plates to modern personalised combinations. Classic car collectors often chase plates that match their vehicle’s era, and this sale has plenty of pre-1960s options.

Key lots include several single and double-digit Victorian plates, which historically hold their value better than most investments. There are also themed sets, initials, and short numeric runs that appeal to both enthusiasts and investors. Bidders should check the reserve structure: some plates carry minimum bids, others are absolute.

Donington Auctions runs this format regularly, so the process is straightforward. Online bidding is open now until the close date. If you are after a specific letter or number combination, scan the full lot list early. Plates in high-demand categories often draw competitive bidding in the final hours.

This one’s for the shed-wall crowd and the restorer chasing a missing piece of paper. Donington Auctions has pulled together a dedicated book and literature sale, which means lots are likely to include factory workshop manuals, owner’s handbooks, sales brochures, and hardcover histories on the usual suspects: Ferrari, Jaguar, Porsche, Holden, and Ford. If you’re mid-restoration on a project car, the right manual here could save you hours of guesswork and a few hundred bucks in reprints.

The catalogue leans into the collector end, so condition and rarity will drive the bidding. Watch for original dealer brochures and early Motorsport or Wheels magazine runs, which often outperform the cars themselves in percentage terms. Also worth a look: any factory-published parts books, as they’re getting harder to find in decent nick. Donington runs these sales regularly, so if you miss out this time, there’s usually another round coming, but the Sydney-sourced lots here have a distinct local flavour you won’t see every day.

This one’s for the bloke who’d rather read about the car than drive it. Donington Auctions has pulled together a solid run of printed material covering the usual suspects: European sports cars, Aussie muscle, and motorcycles. If you’re restoring a project and need the factory specs, or just want a shelf full of nostalgia, this is where you start.

Lot highlights are thin on specifics, but the category tells the story. You’re looking at original dealer brochures, service manuals, and possibly hard-to-find workshop guides for cars that never saw a digital workshop. For a resto job, having the right manual can save you hours of guesswork, and this auction is a chance to grab that reference material before someone else does.

The close date is 9 August 2026, so there’s time to sort through what’s listed. Donington runs a tight ship on condition reports, so if a lot’s got wear or stains, it should be noted. Bid on the lots that match your project, not just the shiny covers.

This is a proper single-owner collection, not a mixed dealer lot. The focus is squarely on the golden era of British diecast, with Dinky’s pre-war and post-war cars well represented alongside Corgi’s later toy range. If you’re after the likes of a Dinky 29A or a Corgi 111, this is where you’ll find them, often in original boxes with the tissue paper intact.

Donington Auctions has built its name on classic and performance cars, so they know how to present a collection like this. The catalogue leans towards condition and completeness, meaning the better lots will carry a premium, but there’s still room for a bargain if you’re happy to chase the less flashy pieces. Check the photos carefully for paint chips and box wear, as they’ll be the difference between a good buy and a great one.

The sale closes 10 August 2026, and bidding is online through the Donington platform. Given the single-owner provenance, expect serious interest from diecast specialists, so have your limits set before the final day.

This sale leans heavily on the Blythe Collection, a private trove that adds depth to the usual antique rotation. Furniture pieces include colonial-era tables and sideboards, while the art section turns up works by known Australian names. Asian antiques cover ceramics and bronzes, with several lots carrying provenance from the collector’s estate.

What sets this apart is the single-day format. Everything closes on 8 August 2026, so you need to sort your bids before the deadline. Inspection is likely available in Richmond beforehand. Check the lot photos for condition. The early lots often set the tone for the room, so don’t wait until the final hour to get a look.

The sale is a broad sweep of the decorative arts, leaning on the kind of stock that appeals to both serious collectors and anyone furnishing a period home. Expect to see formal dining and occasional furniture from the 18th and 19th centuries, but the 20th century section is where the design-conscious money often goes. Look for pieces from the mid-century modern period, which regularly outperform in this market.

On the jewellery side, the catalogue carries a mix of diamond, gold, and coloured stone pieces, from Victorian brooches to more contemporary rings and pendants. It’s worth checking the condition reports on anything with delicate settings, as repairs can eat into a bargain. The fine art section spans oils, watercolours, and prints, with a focus on Australian and European artists.

The auction closes on 10 August, so there’s time to inspect the goods in person at Malvern. Philips runs a tight ship with their cataloguing, but the real value is often in the lots that don’t photograph well, like silverware and objet d’art. If you’re after a specific period or style, the online catalogue is searchable, and the condition notes are honest.

This is a proper photographer’s estate sale, not a random box of junk. Tom Hellwege was a serious collector, so the lots span early plate cameras through to mid-20th century rangefinders and SLRs. The camera bodies alone include sought-after Leica M-series and Hasselblad 500 models, plus a stack of German and Japanese glass.

Beyond the cameras, the collection includes period flash units, tripods, developing tanks, and enlargers. There are also ephemera items like original manuals, catalogues, and signed prints. Condition will vary, but Hellwege was a known curator of his gear. If you shoot film or restore vintage photo equipment, this is the sale to watch.

Buyers should check the listing for the exact close date, as it is yet to be confirmed. Viewing details will likely be posted closer to the sale.

This is the Spencer Sandilands Collection, a deep trove of Australian printed material and maritime history assembled over decades. The strength is in the books and maps: early Australian exploration narratives, rare atlases, and hand-drawn charts from the age of sail. Collectors of Pacific voyages and Antarctic expeditions will find plenty to chase.

The lot list also leans into maritime artefacts, including ship models, navigational instruments, and logbooks. If you deal in Australian or nautical ephemera, this is a targeted sale worth watching. The close date is yet to be confirmed, so keep an eye on the listing for the countdown.

This sale covers the full workshop setup for a professional cabinetmaker or joiner. The SCM Minimax panel saw is a serious piece of kit for sheet work, while the Hammer A3-31 handles jointing and thicknessing in one pass. A Hafco dust extractor keeps the air clean, and a Carbatec 8-inch jointer adds further capacity for solid timber work.

Beyond the big machinery, there is a solid run of hand tools and consumables. Look for Bessey clamps, Festool sanders, and a mix of Trend and Freud router bits. A quantity of T-track and mitre gauge accessories suggests a custom jig setup is in the mix. Builders will find a Makita drop saw, a Hilti TE 30 rotary hammer, and a Milwaukee cordless drill kit.

General goods round out the catalogue with steel shelving, workshop consumables, and what appears to be leftover stock. If you are setting up or restocking a joinery shop, this is a tight, usable collection.

This is a bulk disposal of new and unused industrial components, ideal for workshops, quarries, or farms that need backup drives or replacement parts on the cheap. The lot list shows a heavy concentration of 3-phase motors ranging from small 0.55kW units up to large 75kW models, many still in original packaging. Conveyor hardware includes rollers, pulleys, and belt scrapers, while the pump section features centrifugal and slurry pumps suited to mining or water transfer.

The VSDs are the standout here. New Schneider Altivar and ABB ACS units cover a spread of power ratings, worth a premium if you need variable speed control. A buyer could piece together a full plant setup from this catalogue. Check the close date, as Gollant runs tight deadlines and this gear moves fast within the trade.
