Important Vintage and Pre-War cars were the standout performers at Shannons Melbourne Winter Auction on Monday, July 13, driving a $1.8 million sale result, with an impressive 89 per clearance rate.
The ‘gold standard’ performer on the night was a beautifully restored early ‘Post Armistice’ 1920 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost with a fascinating Australian history that eventually sold for $371,000.
Bidding started at $240,000 for the locally-delivered car previously owned by a number of well-known collectors, but came down to a duel between two local enthusiasts beyond $300,000 to eventually finish comfortably above its pre-auction high estimate.
