Manheim hosting prestige auction for QLD wholesale car dealership

Manheim Australia is broadening its services for the automotive sector by taking its platform directly to vendors for speciality events. 

The company will demonstrate its remote in-person and online simulcast auction capabilities at an upcoming Prestige and Classic Vehicle Auction to be held in Brisbane, in conjunction with a local wholesale car dealership, Tough Automotive. 

To be held at Tough Automotive’s base in Eagle Farm on the evening of June 12, this co-branded auction will see an array of rare and classic vehicles go under the hammer, with interest expected from domestic and international collectors, enthusiasts and dealers. 

The event will comprise both live in-person bidding at Tough Automotive’s Brisbane location, with supporting and simultaneous online simulcast for those who can’t attend on the night, powered by Manheim’s systems and auctioneers.

“While Manheim’s core competency continues to be in-person and online auction events run out of one of our many sites, taking the show on the road in this fashion represents a new service to a sector that is always seeking innovation and ways to maximise asset values,” says Manheim Australia Head of Dealer Wayne Oats.

“Partnering with Manheim, using its auction platform and network, gives us another way to engage a broad base of classic car enthusiasts. By bringing its auction technology platform and expertise to our location, Manheim is helping Tough Automotive create the best and most welcoming event for buyers and sellers alike,” Tough Automotive owner Dan Torr says.

Manheim Australia does have experience conducting mobile offsite auctions, in particular for automotive OEMs and their franchise dealer audience, as well as various Industrial and Salvage events. But the Tough Automotive co-branded event takes this to a new audience.

The line-up promises more than 30 rare and high-end vehicles destined to go under the hammer, including:

• Six Ferraris including a 348 TB, 360 Modena and 275 GTS
• Two McLarens including a 750S Coupe
• Two Porches including a 356 B Coupe and a 996-Series 911 GT3
• Three classic Mercedes-Benz two-doors including a 1961 300 SL Roadster
• A Lamborghini Murcielago LP460 Roadster
• A classic Range Rover CSK 2-Door 
• A TVR Tuscan S Targa 

There are also a few rare and collectible pieces of Australian automotive history including a 1970 Holden HT Monaro and 1978 Ford Falcon XC Coupe.
