South Africa’s classic car market is attracting worldwide attention, with collectors from over two dozen countries following Creative Rides auctions.

Our recent online-only auction of the Louis Coetzer Estate “Lost Barn Find” Collection drew nearly 3,000 bids across 200 lots, so competitive that the sale had to be extended late into the night. Creative Rides was entrusted with this landmark collection because of our reputation and standing in the industry, and the results proved why.

Top results included:

• 1960s Mercedes-Benz 220SE Fintail – R101 000

• 1960s GMC 4000 Flatbed Truck – R81 750

• 1960s Chevrolet Impala 327 V8 – R85 750

• 1970s Chevrolet Nova Convertible – R61 750

• 1970s Chevrolet Nova Sedan – R54 500

CEO Kevin Derrick summed it up:

“The response from international collectors proves that South African classics belong on the world stage. Our role is to bring these stories — and these cars — to a global audience.”

Creative Rides will continue to feature regular online-only barn find auctions, connecting rare South African treasures with collectors across the globe.
