August 24, 2016 – Omaha, Neb. – Proxibid (www.proxibid.com), the world’s most trusted way to connect buyers and sellers of highly valued items, today announced that Silverstone Auctions (www.silverstoneauctions.com), a world-class auction house for the sale of classic cars, will bring its upcoming Salon Privé Sale to the Proxibid Marketplace. While the vehicles in the auction are beautiful and highly sought after in their own right, they hold in common quality and low mileage, making this year the most exciting Salon Privé event to date. Live bidding will begin Saturday, September 3 at 3:00 PM EUR, but online bidding is already available by visiting www.proxibid.com/silverstone.
“The exquisite quality of these vehicles, coupled with the low mileage, makes this collection of vehicles among the best we’ve ever seen,” said Guy Lees-Milne, General Manager and Classic Car Specialist with Silverstone Auctions. “Several will be of special interest to American buyers, so we are excited to partner with Proxibid for online bidding to ensure buyers around the world can participate safely and securely.”
Buyers who cannot attend the event live in person can participate with confidence on Proxibid – unrivaled in the industry for risk management and fraud prevention. Collectors will not want to miss the opportunity to bid live on vehicles such as:
