Be part of the auction excitement at Winter Florida AutoFest at SUN 'n FUN Expo Campus in Lakeland for the ever-popular Lakeland Winter Collector Car Auction. This 2-day auction starts at 10:30 a.m. daily and sees well over 400+ cars cross the block. In addition, Carlisle Events and
Carlisle Auctions are pleased to implement a "Free Unless Sold" guarantee.
The guarantee means almost literally what it states. Any consigned collector car (25 years or older) that does not sell as part of the auction will see most of the registration fees refunded to the consignee. Certain exceptions apply as it relates to refunds. Fees must be paid at the time of registration, either onsite or in advance, but no matter the time slot the vehicle runs, if it doesn't sell, it's free!
This new revolutionary aspect should yield more cars crossing the block as each owner can submit their classic without the worry of losing the registration fees if the vehicle is not sold. The policy is a win-win and allows enthusiasts to buy and sell with even more confidence.
In addition to offering "Free Unless Sold," Carlisle Events and Carlisle Auctions are also offering special "feature vehicle" slots. These slots are limited, but if selected, will be positioned indoors within the auction house. When applying to consign, select "feature vehicle" within the registration paperwork. At that point, the Carlisle Auctions' team will make a determination on inclusion.
If accepted, the fee is $600 ($400 for the consignment and $200 for featured status). If the featured consignment doesn't sell, only the $400 consignment fee is refunded (call for details).
For the auction, there will be some modifications due to COVID. In compliance with CDC suggestions and state of Florida regulations, Carlisle Auctions will offer added hand washing stations, hand sanitizing options, encourage social distancing and the wearing of masks. The event will be accessible to guests (buyers, sellers, staff, business partners and spectators) per guidelines in place at the time of the February auction. Even though there are indoor elements associated with the auction, the facility in fact has open hangar doors on both ends and breezeways on both sides. Further, since this is an airplane hangar, there is more than enough built-in opportunities to social distance. Since in-person options are different, it’s important to utilize the various options to bid and buy.
Finally, if you are wondering what type of collector cars are available, the categories frequently look like this: Muscle Car, Street Rod, Classic Car, Antique, Luxury, Exotic, Race Car, Sports Car, Specialty Truck and Motorcycle.
If you are interested in machines that fall in the aforementioned groups or you have something you'd like to consign, contact one of our Auction Specialists at 717-960-6400.
