The Car Park at The Great Plate Auction 2011, Feb 13th.
Well, the car park at our The Great Plate Auction 2011 event had almost as many quality plates as we had up for auction. Great to see the plates of many past and new clients of historicplates.com.au there on the day, including some of the other 2-digit plates we've sold in the past, being SA "16", SA "21", SA "69". The pictured SA "679" was sold by us just after the auction, so now is off the pictured V8 Aston. I got a chance to see this car up close, and was greatly impressed by the details and design quality of the thing.
Thanks to Sean for acting as official photographer on the day and contributing these great shots.
If you have any other pictures from on the day of The Great Plate Auction 2011, we'd love to hear from you.
Bentley Drivers Club run, 10.4.11
SA861 on a fantastic original SS100.
SA983 on a completely restored local from new 50's R Type Bentley.
VIC335, on a Bentley Continental owned by one of our clients. Not an SA Historic Plate, but a great plate & car combination nonetheless.
SA "119" meets SA "911"
We recently sold SA "911" for what is a record price for a 3-digit plate. Funny enough our client bought the SA "911" plate without a 911 in the garage, so he has just taken delivery of this low mileage black/black 997.
So, today SA "119" met the 2005 997 Coupe that plate SA "911" has just been registered to. 1965 meets 2005. 901 meets 997. SA "119" meets SA "911". Cool.
And when your client starts the car, & say's ".....go take it for a drive". Cooler still.
All I need to do now is fix the local dealer's handiwork & re-mount the plate, straight this time.
SA717-717 : A plate we auctioned at The Great Plate Auction 2011, looking great on a new Evo.
