Webb’s Collectors’ Cars, Motorcycles & Automobilia department is currently accepting a select number of high-end consignments for its upcoming live auction.
Webb's has been experiencing exceptional car sale returns, often well above estimates, proving that despite market trepidation, the luxury and classic vehicle sector remains buoyant.
We are particularly interested in cars produced in limited numbers, of performance specification and design significance. Cars with low-mileage, in original condition and of New Zealand-new origin are also particularly favoured in the market.
Specific models sought include:
Early model and M-series BMWs
Ferrari
Porsche
Aston Martin
Lamborghini
Japanese Domestic Market
The team also seeks high-quality 20th century examples of classic motorcycles, including those from Triumph, Matchless, Norton, Vincent, Harley Davidson & Indian.
