The largest privately-owned classic car collection ever to be auctioned in the southern hemisphere is here.
Gosford Classic Cars was born out of a passion for the artistry of automobiles and has showcased hundreds of pristine vehicles over many years, sourced from Australia, the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
Lloyds are honoured to be auctioning this prestigious collection that will have over 150 vehicles go under the hammer at Gosford Classic Car Museum’s enormous facilities on the 7th April 2019.

-1 of 3179 produced -Original LHD -Exclusive sale to the Soviet government -Icon to luxury limousines pre-70’s -Original unrestored condition
The ‘Chaika’ is a luxury vehicle from the Soviet-union produced by Gaz. Divided into two generations, ‘Chaika Mark 1’ and ‘Gaz M13’ these were produced between the years of 1959-1981. With exclusive manufacturing rights to the soviet government, these were still offered for hire to the general public.
This highly collectable example is one of 3,179 built in total and one of only a handful in this condition. With a low 82,040km against its durable V8 engine this presents an investment to any collector.
Its 5.5L V8 engine produces a 145KW of power to this limousine chassis and is all pulled through its 3-speed Automatic transmission. This 7-seater rarity, presents in its original condition of a Gloss black interior, finished in chrome exterior trim.
An interior set in Green, is highlighted with a yellow stripe outline to its trim is testament to its class and luxury design. Its unrestored condition showcases a pre-1970 icon in its release condition.
With its life spent primarily in Europe, this example made its way over from the Czech Republic back in 2015. With its limited production numbers and the condition it presents in now, this example is an investment.
