Richie Bros.’ subsidiary Leake Auctions is headed to Arizona in January 2020 for Scottsdale Auction Week. The company has partnered with Salt River Fields at Talking Stick for its multi-day auction. Exact dates for Leake’s event will be announced in the coming months.
“Scottsdale Auction Week is a bellwether event for the collector car industry and we are so excited to be participating,” said Gary Bennett, general manager, New Ventures & Sectors (Collector Cars) for Ritchie Bros. “We have secured a great location at Salt River Fields and are now accepting consignments. Hundreds of thousands of people attend Scottsdale Auction Week each year, and we will have thousands more participating online. Contact us today to be a part of our Scottsdale 2020 auction!”
Leake Auction Company recently completed a multi-day auction event in Tulsa, OK, where it had more than 500 vehicles on offer, including the personal collection of famed “Hee Haw” host Roy Clark, which included a 1964 James Young Phantom V Rolls-Royce which sold for $60,500. The company’s next event will be held this fall in Texas.
Leake Auction Company was established by James C. Leake, Sr. and is America’s first collector car auction. In January 2018, Leake was acquired by Ritchie Bros., a global asset management and disposition company which offers customers end-to-end solutions for buying and selling used heavy equipment, trucks and other assets.
