The Classic Automotive Auction

We worked with Robert & Cam on the new Donington Auctions website and both gents are great operators whose passion for Antiques and Collectables shines through in everything they do.

I received excellent information for auctions from Donington. The platform is good for placing real-time bids, which is the best part of it. I enjoyed the auction deals with them.

DOINGTON is the best auction site. I always received notifications for the upcoming auctions, which helped me a lot to become a part of the amazing auctions. I love to use this site.

10/10 for these guys. One of the best auction experiences I've had for a long time. Well staffed, good catalogue, and low buyers premium. As well as that, the auctioneer was very good and efficient, with no fuss and kept up a good pace (especially compared to some collector sale auctioneers I've seen recently!). I look forward to using these guys again.

I have been buying through Donnington's for a few years now. I am in WA, so everything needs to be sent here by courier or Aus Post and I have never received a damaged item due to the great work the team do in packaging. Great work.

“Wow”, what an auction!Like many collectors, we have enjoyed putting our collection together over many years. So, when we decided to auction the collection off to pursue other interests, we knew we only had once chance to get it right.After a recommendation from a friend (thanks Tony), we approached Doningtons, and quickly felt comfortable to entrust our collection to them. They listened to us, and put together a campaign that communicated our story to other collectors.What a professional team they are, and through their attention to detail, ideas and hard work, we achieved a result far in excess of what we had hoped for.Cameron and Robbie led the team and steered all the marketing and final auction. They were always available to discuss progress, and very responsive to any input from us. We can’t thank them enough.A big thanks too to the rest of the team, especially to:• Elliot for his expert cataloging, and his editing and perfect choice of music for the videos• Lesley for the You Tube videos and photos of our collection taken whilst still displayed in our home, and• Stefan “the lens” for the photography for the catalogue.All of you contributed to the amazing result, and we have no hesitation in highly recommending Doningtons to others.Karl and Sue Jochheim

When a loved one passes away and leaves a massive collection of books and car models kits and other auto memorabilia , the one left behind has the task of moving the collection on. Not knowing where to start I took the advice of a fellow enthusiast and engaged the expertise of Donington Auctions , Melbourne , what can I say , Robbie, Cam and their associated team members , did an absolute amazing job in presentation, photography , display and their co-ordination was out of this world. I can't thank them enough for what they did for me and my late husband's collection. It was a complete sell out. Being kept in the loop was paramount for the communication with regards to pricing etc. They did a superlative job, this thank you comes with the highest recommendation of these people to help and assist , thank you once again Robbie and Cam.
