Premium Showroom - Classic Car Auctions

Chicane Auctions combines the confidence of a traditional showroom auction with the convenience and reach of online bidding Australia wide.

Vehicles are displayed at our Melbourne showroom for several weeks before each auction concludes, giving prospective buyers time to review the catalogue, examine supporting documentation and arrange a personal inspection of the cars. Registered bidders throughout Australia can then participate and bid in our timed auctions through our website from any location.

Our auctions regularly feature a diverse selection of:

• High caliber Collector Cars from all marques.
• Classic Australian Holden, Ford and Chrysler vehicles
• European and American classics
• Performance and exotic cars
• Vintage and historic vehicles
• Rare, limited-production and investment-grade collector cars
• Modern performance collectible vehicles

 

Detailed Vehicle Catalogues and Showroom Inspections

Every auction vehicle is carefully hand picked for its unique qualities by our specialist team. All listings include detailed specifications, vehicle history, known condition information, supporting documentation, high-resolution photography and in-depth video.

Where available, we also document identifying numbers, factory specifications, ownership history, restoration records, service books and provenance. This information builds confidence for prospective buyers to understand each vehicle and make an more informed bidding decision.

All auction vehicles remain available for inspection by appointment at our secure Melbourne showroom throughout the advertised inspection and auction period. Our team is available to answer enquiries and provide further information about each lot.
