Live Auction Debut at Automobilia Collectors Expo 2025

On August 11-13, 2025 Automobilia Collectors Expo, a Live Automobilia Auction was held at the Embassy Suites Monterey Bay in Seaside, California.  For three-days, the Expo celebrated the automotive culture during “Monterey Car Week.”  The auction featured more than 425 curated lots offering a wide selection from rare petroliana and original signage, to motorsport literature, scale models, rally plates, and showroom displays.

Auction highlights included:

• Donald Osborne’s private “Tin Toy” Collection.
• Laguna Seca Private Collection representing items connected to American racetracks.
• No Reserve Porsche Collection.
• A 1954 Jaguar XK120.
• Automobilia treasures from around the world – vintage posters, rare literature, and more.

“The Live Auction adds a dynamic new layer to the expo,” said Will Elkadi, co-founder and media strategist behind the event.  “We’re building something that blends prestige and accessibility, an elevated platform that celebrates automotive history while looking forward to what’s next.  The Expo’s leadership is already in motion on plans for 2026, including enhanced programming, new exhibitor benefits, and broader international outreach.”
