Live Auction
Sunday 8 December, 2.30pm

Our last live auction for 2024 saw a number of excellent results, including the sale of a rare 1988 Holden HSV VL SS Group A ‘Walkinshaw.’

As original as it is coveted, this car was hugely popular with our clients, and achieved a price of $233,750 incl. BP. It sold alongside a number of excellent convertible buys for the summer, like the eternally cool 1997 Mercedes-Benz SL600 for $40,250 or the beautiful mid-century 1969 Alfa Romeo Spider, which attracted $74,750.  

Fulfilling its promise as yet another excellent event for collectors’ and enthusiasts, our December auction served as a wonderful celebration of 2024 in Collectors’ Cars, Motorcycles & Automobilia.

  • Ian Nott's four-decade journey in the classic car realm spans many countries and car brands. Born into the automotive world — with his father working at Wellington's Ford dealer, Avery Motors — Ian's childhood was steeped in car culture, fostering a lifelong passion. His diverse career as a sales rep introduced him to an array of vehicles, culminating in a pivotal moment when he acquired a Porsche 911 in the early '80s.

    As a former president of the Porsche Club of NZ and an avid racer, Ian has contributed to numerous charitable endeavours, including Drive for Kids, where he and other club members raised substantial funds for children with cancer. He has owned and worked with car brands including Ford, BMW, Holden, Hillman, Nissan, Mazda, Porsche, Audi, Mini and more.

    Ian's expertise — further honed through restoring vehicles and racing Porsches for over two decades — is invaluable in his role at Webb's, where he's been a pivotal figure since 2017. His consultative role involves catalogue writing, client interactions, valuing cars for clients and attending the previews and events — where his wealth of knowledge enriches the auction experience.
