Inside This Week’s Classic Car Auction Market – 11 Upcoming Sales inc Classic Cars, Vintage Motorcycles & Automotive Literature

This is Part II of Donington Auctions’ classic and vintage motorcycle sale, and the catalogue leans hard into enduro and scrambler territory. Those two categories have quietly become the strongest performers in the collectible bike market, so a dedicated sale like this is worth a close look.

Rare parts are a big part of the appeal. Loose components, spares and hard-to-find pieces often go for far less than complete machines, which suits anyone mid-restoration or chasing a specific part they have been hunting for years.

Donington Auctions runs out of Melbourne and specialises in classic, collector and performance vehicles, with European marques and muscle cars in the mix alongside motorcycles. Bidding closes 9 November 2026. Read the lot list carefully, check condition where you can, and price your bids before the final day.

Donington Auctions runs classic, collector and performance car sales out of Melbourne, and this event narrows the focus to motorcycles. Consignments are open now, which means the catalogue will build over the coming months rather than landing all at once.

The house’s usual territory covers European marques alongside muscle cars, so the bike list will likely span British, Italian and Japanese machinery, with the odd collectable thrown in. Condition will vary from project bikes to turnkey riders.

If you have something sitting in the shed, consigning early gets it in front of buyers sooner. If you are buying, check back as lots are added. The auction closes 2 November 2026.

This one comes from a Sydney connoisseur, and the depth shows. The collection leans on automotive literature, the sort of factory publications, workshop manuals and marque histories that rarely surface together, alongside fine models built to a standard collectors chase for years.

Donington Auctions runs the sale out of Melbourne VIC, and the catalogue sits across collectables and classic-car categories. Literature lots reward the buyer who reads the descriptions properly, since condition and edition matter as much as the title.

Worth a close look if you have been chasing reference material for a restoration or want display pieces with genuine provenance behind them.

Donington Auctions has built its name on classic, collector and performance car sales out of Melbourne, with a focus on European marques, muscle cars and motorcycles. This auction widens the net, putting up the contents of a Richmond warehouse alongside the automotive stock. That means workshop equipment and industrial gear sitting next to the cars and collectables, which is where the value tends to hide.

The categories tell the story: industrial, classic-cars and collectables. Buyers chasing a project, a parts haul or a piece of garage history should read the full lot list rather than skim the headline. The auction closes 23 November 2026.

Donington Auctions runs a dedicated classic and collector car program out of Melbourne, covering European marques, muscle cars and motorcycles. This sale is in the consignment phase, which means the catalogue is still being built and sellers can still put vehicles forward.

For buyers, that timing matters. Early consignments usually mean a broader spread of stock by the time bidding opens, from restoration projects to well-kept performance cars and two-wheelers.

Keep the 23 November 2026 close in mind and check back as lots are added. Full details and the growing lot list are on the Donington Auctions listing.

Donington Auctions runs classic, collector and performance car sales out of Melbourne, with a reputation for European marques, muscle cars and motorcycles. This one widens the net to maritime and angling gear, which means the catalogue should carry the odd mix you only get when a shed, a garage and a boat get cleared in one go.

Consignments are open now, so what lands in the catalogue is still being decided. If you have maritime or fishing gear sitting unused, this is the moment to have a chat with the auctioneer.

Close date is 18 January 2027. Plenty of time to watch the listings build.

Lloyds Auctions is running this as a multi-lot online sale, with categories spanning vehicles, jewellery, collectables, plant and equipment, and general goods. The Ferrari F8 Spider is the standout on the current lot list: a 2022 build in red, roof down and ready for summer.

With only one lot confirmed at the time of writing, the catalogue is worth watching as the 28 November close approaches. Buyers after plant, collectables or general goods should check back, as the auctioneer expects stock across all categories.

Inspect before you bid. Confirm the Ferrari’s service history, odometer and compliance details directly with Lloyds, and check terms for collection and transfer on any vehicle you win.

This is a proper spread of eras rather than a single-marque sale. The oldest lots are a 1947 Sunbeam Talbot and the 1964 Austin Healey 3000, while the 1970 NSU Ro 80 stands out as one of the more unusual cars in the catalogue, a rotary-engined sedan you rarely see listed.

The 1970s and 80s are well covered with the 1971 Ford Fairmont, a 1975 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, a 1981 Mercedes-Benz 280CE and a 1984 Holden Commodore. Later collectables include a 1994 Mitsubishi Lancer GSR, a 2002 Jaguar Sovereign, the 2002 Porsche Boxster and the two 2007 Holdens.

Lots are held across various locations nationally, so check each listing for where the car sits and what inspection or collection arrangements apply before you bid. Condition and history vary from lot to lot, and the notes supplied are brief, so do your homework on the individual vehicle you’re chasing.
