Australia’s most reputable destination for performance, classic and collector cars, Retro Rides, is thrilled to announce the official launch of its brand new RRAuctions platform, an online auction marketplace dedicated to automotive enthusiasts, collectors and investors.
This milestone marks a new chapter in the rapidly growing Retro Rides community, one that brings curated, high-end vehicles to market with the trust, expertise and storytelling that the brand has become renowned for.
The inaugural RRAuctions catalogue features a stunning roster of vehicles that will excite seasoned collectors and new bidders alike, including:
A 1990 Ferrari F40, one of the most iconic supercars ever built, with global auction results, regularly pushing into the multi-million dollar range. The 1990 F40, known for its raw performance and racing pedigree, is expected to be one of Australia’s key Auctions this year, a testament to its status as a blue chip collector car in today’s market.
An AMB 001 Pro by Aston Martin and Brough Superior motorcycle is set to attract plenty of attention. The rare and highly desirable piece of two-wheeled history is anticipated to trade for record Motorcycle money.
One of Australia’s most iconic muscle cars, a 1968 Ford GT in pristine condition will also go under the hammer adding serious performance pedigree to the auction line up.
Among the other featured cars are a 2005 Lamborghini Murciélago, the early 2000s Italian V12 supercar that helped define its era and a 2014 Aston Martin Vantage S, a contemporary British grand-tourer prized for its blend of performance and style.
Fans of pure driving machines will find a 1994 Ferrari 348 Challenge on offer, alongside a 2000 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-SPEC (HR34), a Japanese icon revered for its all-wheel drive and turbocharged prowess alongside a 1995 Porsche 911 (993) Carrera 2, the last of the air-cooled 911s and a bona fide future classic.
What began as a community driven online destination for car lovers has just in a few short months become one of Australia’s most trusted hubs for automotive culture, editorial excellence and now, premier online auctions.
Retro Rides does not just list cars, it tells their stories and brings buyers and sellers together with credibility and trust.
Boosting the buzz around RRAuctions is the newly announced Retro Rides Brand Ambassador, acclaimed Australian actor and comedian, Shane Jacobson, who brings his genuine passion for cars and broad appeal to the brands expanding mission.
A lifelong petrol head and former host of Top Gear Australia, Jacobson will front promotional initiatives around the auction launch and champion the growing collector movement across Australia.
“Shane’s involvement with Retro Rides is a perfect match. He is authentically engaged in car culture and helps us connect with a wider audience that love their cars as both a passion and investment,” said Cameron Jurd, Retro Rides Founder.
With collector cars increasingly recognised as alternative assets, RRAuctions gives enthusiasts an accessible, trustworthy venue to explore investment grade vehicles, backed by the editorial depth and market insights that RetroRides is famous for.
From appreciating classics to rare performance and limited production icons, the auction platform celebrates the dual nature of these vehicles, as objects of desire and as a serious asset, that have overtime the potential to outperform traditional assets such as property and stocks.
Interested parties can now browse the live listings online at www.rrauctions.com.au, register to bid and set alerts ahead of the launch date, this coming Sunday 15th February. Whether you are eyeing the Ferrari F40, a piece of motorcycling history, or a future classic, RRAuctions is where the next chapter of Australian automotive collecting begins.
