It’s not just Aussie cars in the April auction. There are plenty of American, European and other foreign cars available, too, including a 1969 Corvette Stingray, 1932 Ford Tudor hot rod, 1938 Ford Deluxe V8 sloper coupe, 1965 and 1968 Mustang convertibles, a 1978 Porsche 911 convertible, XJS V12 and S Type Jaguars, a modern Mini Cooper and a 1982 Range Rover V8.
For something rare, how about an Infiniti G37S, Skyline R33 GTR V-Spec, 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Coupe, Triumph TR3 or a 1996 Toyota Landcruiser 80 Series with a 6.5 Chev V8 transplant, long-range fuel tank and lots of off-road-ready gear.
Then there are the motorcycles. With models from Triumph, Indian, Suzuki, Harley-Davidson, BSA, Honda and Ducati, there is a fantastic selection of two-wheel machines up for grabs. For something different – and with a local flavour – there’s also a very nice Evo-engined Harley custom trike built by Doc Hogs in Melbourne.
