By What's News

A massive week for memorabilia, with 2 auctions capping off over 4 straight days contributing to another successful week here at Burns & Co!

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday night saw our 3 Part South Australian Single Vendor Livestream Collectors Auction with a catalogue boasting a great selection of Petrol Pumps as well as restorers Pumps/Parts. These pumps complimented a tremendous selection of Enamel & Screen print signs, Tins & Drums, Oil Bottles & Racks, Spark Plug, Sewing Machines, Workshop Manuals and Dealership ephemera & collectables plus much more. There were also some well-known brand names featured including the likes of Shell, Golden Fleece, Castrol, Pirelli, Caltex, Goodyear, Holden, Ford, Ferrari plus much, much more!

Thursday night saw us close out our Automotive & Sports, Memorabilia and Ephemera Timed Online Auction with a plethora of motoring and other sporting scripture and memorabilia and featured some great opportunity for both the experienced collector as well as those starting out. Included was a prominent selection of Holden vehicle brochures, pamphlets, booklets, manuals and general ephemera along with a broad selection of dealership posters, flags and marketing materials. For non-motorsport fans, there was an excellent selection of Aussie Rules (particularly Fitzroy/Brisbane Football Club), Cricket and some Horse Racing collectables including signed sportswear, framed memorabilia, medallions, collector cards, team merchandise and more!

The highlights across the two nights included;

South Australian Single Vendor Livestream Collectors Auction

Unrestored petrol pumps were the order of the day in this auction, with the 3 top selling lots fitting this memorabilia category and all coming from night 3!

Automotive & Sports, Memorabilia and Ephemera Timed Online Auction

Some rare and desirable marketing material for unreleased concept Holden models ended up catching the keen eye of bidders within this auction!

  • Lot 967 was very competitive item amongst bidders, with a rare Holden GTR-X Prototype Dealership Brochure reaching a great price of $1,586.
  • The second top selling lot of this auction was the highly desirable Vintage Holden Hurricane Prototype Plastic Dealership Banner at Lot 1033. There aren’t many places you’ll find these as a collector, so understandably it sold well and reached a final bid on the night of $1,244.
  • Rounding out the top three best sellers of this auction was Lot 935, a Holden 50th Anniversary Cloth Banner. A great memorabilia piece for those big on the Aussie automotive industry, it deservedly sold for $762.

The Bernie & Kerry Moran Collection Auction – TOP 5 RESULTS

By What's News

Sought after collectable tractors snapped up in Thursday night auction.

Thursday night saw us wrap up the second of two auctions as part of the dispersion of the Bernie & Kerry Moran Collection Auction. The Morans, from Leigh Creek, via Ballarat, in Victoria possessed a well-known collection, including a fantastic collection of approximately 25 sought after and very collectable tractors, so it was always the case that we were going to see some very competitive bidding and some great results, and that is exactly what happened.

Case in point is the highest selling lot for the auction, Lot 718, the 1967 Oliver 1950 GM Diesel tractor which had multiple bidders vying to be the new owner and was sitting at $47,299 when the hammer fell. Coming in at second place in the top five was Lot 723, a 1982 White 2-110 Front Wheel Assist selling for $21,552, and a 1967 Minneapolis Wheatland G1000 rounded out the top three.

The Top Five results across the two nights can be viewed in the below gallery.

A huge thank you to the Bernie and Kerry Moran for the opportunity to sell your collection and to all our bidders for choosing Burns & Co.

May Classic & Collectable Car & Motorcycle Auctions – TOP 5 RESULTS

By What's News

May Auctions see competitive bidding, lots of floor bidders and an 86% Clearance Rate!

The May edition of the Burns & Co Classic & Collectable Car & Motorcycle Auction wrapped up this week over two massive nights. The first night, on Monday the 19th of May 2025 saw American, European & Japanese Classic & Collectable Cars & Motorcycles going under the hammer, then on the Tuesday evening the Aussie Muscle, Classic & Collectable Cars were up for grabs.

The first time we have held these auctions at nighttime, there were lots of floor bidders on both nights to go along with the always popular online bidding. The top selling lot on the Monday evening (and 4th place overall across both nights) was Lot 13 the ever-stylish 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Fastback 390 V8 Manual which climbed its way up to a final selling price of $81,600. Coming in at second place for Monday night, selling for $63,302 was Lot 31, the gorgeous 1962 Ford Thunderbird V8 Sports Roadster Automatic which had a number of bidders throwing their hats in the ring to take home this beauty.
The Tuesday night saw bidders duking it out to take home Aussie Muscle, Classic & Collectable Cars. The third highest selling lot for the night (Lot 27), the very well maintained 1985 Holden VK Brock HDT Commodore V8 Manual saw plenty of pre-bidding as well as a late flurry on the night to reach $89,568 when the hammer fell. In second place was a real showstopper, this 1961 Holden EK V8 350 Stroker Sedan Automatic had been receiving a lot of attention, even before for bidding opened, so it was no surprise on the night when the price continued to climb finally finishing at $115,395. But the top selling lot across both nights was the Australian Classic, 1973 Holden HQ Monaro GTS 308 Coupe Manual. As is often the case when it comes to Monaro’s, there was a lot of bidders interested in this car, and the final price of $121,714 was testament to that.
The Top Five results across the two nights can be viewed in the below gallery.
Burns & Co would like to offer a huge thank you to our vendors, staff and bidders for making this sale a success, and most importantly for choosing Burns & Co.
