but now, 24 hours after the auction ended there is no contact from the
winning bidder.

Judging by the time(1) they placed their one and only bid I'm guessing
it was done by a sniping program.

I've sent the 'winner' a message last night and again this morning
asking them to get in touch regarding a collection time but have heard
nothing.

I'm not hugely worried as at least two of the non winning bidders were
in contact for the past few days seemingly very keen so a second chance
offer won't lose too much of the finish price.

Any snippets of advice?

(1) the second the auction ended

Did that at 10am today and straight to answerphone. Message left.

I see a second chance offer being done soon.

Don't leave it too long or the other bidders might buy something else.

He did get in touch three days later and picked the car up two days
after that.

All ended well.
