Quality videos have become table stakes for BaT auctions, and are an integral part of almost every listing. But some transcend cold starts and interior functions, and wow our audience with impressive production values, and even narrative histories. Every year, the bar gets higher. The Video of the Year award is now six years running, and last year BaT member @shervinator took the win with a 16-minute video of his ex-Bell System Ford Econoline display van that was equal parts history lesson, archeological dig, and comedy sketch.
What was your favorite BaT Video in 2025?
Make your nominations in the comments below – be sure to note the specific video and link to the listing it appeared in. This results page shows nearly every auction from the last calendar year (starting from today’s date) and features plenty of filters to help you find what you’re looking for. Honorable mentions are welcome, but please be sure to cast an official vote for only one listing. Nominations are open now!
Please note that previous winners in any category are not eligible for this year’s award. We want to spread the love around!
We’ll tally up the nominations on Monday, January 12, and the top three will move on to final voting. The winner will be announced in this post later that week, and will receive four new Michelin or BFGoodrich tires of their choosing.
