Collecting Cars’ sales results in June show the collector car markets in Australia and New Zealand remain strong.
The leading online auction platform for the sale of classic, performance and collectible cars delivered around AUD $7 million in sales from 96 lots in Australia in June, with auction lots selling each day of the month.
