The February Burns & Co Classic and Collectable Car auction saw some very competitive bidding throughout the day, including on lot 65, the stunning red 1970 XW GT-HO Phase 2 Tribute Utility.

After many bids back and forth the hammer fell on this impressive Ute for the price of $123,088 (including buyer’s premium) leading to not only I am sure a happy new purchaser, but also a happy seller. We spoke to the vendor post the auction to get his thoughts on the sale, the process from start to finish and why they chose Burns and Co, and this is what he said.

“I found out about Burns & Co by word of mouth from some friends who had sold through them previously. I was very happy with the setup and organisation in the lead up, and was updated regularly during which was appreciated, and that led to a great result.

I think that the online bidding got the ball rolling as far as the bidding goes and it got people interested in bidding at the auction.

The whole company and the selling process was very professional, the process was very smooth, and nothing was a problem. When I called, I could easily get to speak to the same person. Where can you find that these days? I deal with a lot of different types of companies, and you can’t.

I will definitely be recommending Burns and Co to others. I have a couple of guys I know who are looking to sell and I will be recommending them to call Burns & Co. One of the biggest advantages of selling with Burns & Co was not needing to deal with all the Riff Raff that you can get selling things privately.
