A Professionally Managed -  Start to Finish Service.

Chicane Auctions is a specialist auction house dedicated to collector, performance and rare cars, backed by decades of professional experience.

Based in Melbourne, Chicane Auctions is the only 'Showroom' auction house in Australia that charges Sellers absolutely no fees or costs to sell. The Seller keeps the full 100% of the hammer price, with the Buyer paying an 8.8% Buyer’s Premium.

More money back in your pocket, especially for higher-value collector cars which we specialize in — backed by strong auction results and premium showroom presentation that consistently delivers outstanding prices compared to the competition.

We remove the stress, time and risk of handling the sale yourself by providing a fully managed, licensed, discreet and professional auction process from start to finish.

From the initial vehicle discussion through to setting the agreed reserve price, Chicane Auctions then manages the entire process — including photography, marketing, buyer enquiries, inspections, documentation, payment handling and delivery coordination — delivered with the professionalism and compliance of a Licensed Auction House.

Each vehicle is professionally presented as a piece of automotive artwork and offered for sale unregistered, without a roadworthy certificate, and strictly on an “as is” basis. No test drives are allowed, and all inspections are conducted by appointment in our Showroom under our full supervision. The only person allowed to start your car is Chicane Auctions Director - Daniel Lamprell.

Achieving the highest possible result for a classic or collector car begins with building confidence with an accurate description, detailed presentation and genuine specialist knowledge.

By correctly explaining a vehicle’s specification, condition, upgrades, originality, provenance and history, we give buyers the confidence to bid strongly — delivering premium results for our clients.

Each car is presented within our secure, fully staffed Melbourne showroom facility, providing sellers with complete peace of mind throughout the auction process.

With decades of specialist experience across all vehicle types — from vintage Ferraris to Iconic Muscle Cars — Chicane Auctions is trusted by serious collectors and enthusiasts for its knowledge, professionalism and presentation standards.

All client dealings are handled privately and with complete confidentiality.

No Seller Fees – Keep 100% of the Sale Price

All sellers retain 100% of the final winning hammer price. There are no seller fees, no commissions, and no deductions — every dollar goes directly to the seller. A reserve price can be applied to ensure your vehicle is not sold below an agreed value.

Our auction model is simple and transparent. We operate on a 8.8% buyer’s premium only, which delivers higher in-pocket returns for our Sellers when compared with competitor auction houses.
