Shannons 2014 Melbourne Autumn auction

There are some beautiful examples up for auction at Shannon's Autumn sale on the 5th May, 2014. Check out the catalogue here.

Below are just a few of my favourites: 1972 Holden HQ V8 Ute

1965 Cadillac DeVille Convertible

1966 Ford Mustang GT Convertible

1971 Aston Martin DBS V8 Coupe

Honda Hands

You've got to hand it to Honda. They love a fun commercial.

My all-time favourite Honda ad is still The Impossible Dream. Enjoy.

Bentley's SUV Tease

This is the publicity pic from Bentley to tease their new SUV type vehicle. You may remember my rant about bentley's crazy ugly 4WD concept pictured below. I am champing at the bit to know if they've finessed their original idea. Either that or they're hoping people only ever see it in a cloud of dust like above. 

Brabus 800 iBusiness Mercedes-Benz G65 AMG

Based on the M-B G65, it features a ^.0L V12 twin turbo engine, producing 800hp. Inside it is kitted out with Mac Mini, Apple TV, an iPad and an iPod touch, all integrated into the entertainment system controlled by an iPhone app. It's been entirely refitted in fine leather and Alcantara, with articulating rear seats and an integrated high-speed modem and WLAN so you can do business from the road.

What sort of business would that be? That's right, the buying and selling of drugs...business. For someone dodgy, they're certainly going to leave an equally impressive digital footprint in this. Get your alibi ready...

Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz For Sale

I'm speechless. Just when I thought this Caddy couldn't get any more amazing/ zany/ thunderbirds/ mental, I saw the photo with the hot tub. I think it would be amazing for that one moment when you can show all your mates and have a huge laugh. But to own it, drive it and try and park it? No thanks. For AUS$24k, this one could be yours. I've tried researching this one-off vehicle but am coming up with nothing. If anyone has any more info on this custom car, please leave a comment below.

UPDATE 03/02/2014: Shannon's have now uploaded information on the car. It seems it was a Texas registered car until it came to Oz in the 80s or 90s before being reconditioned in 1999.

Volkswagen Dune Buggy Concept

Could this be coming to a beach near you? Check out the latest people's car.

2014 Porsche 911 Targa

I wouldn't call myself a Porsche man but I love the line of this new model. Read all about it here.

Unlike the original model though (below), the new one's roof panel retracts automatically.

 

Mountain Bug

Here's a pristine VW Cabriolet that was taking in the mountain air at Katoomba.

Bathurst Mustang

I spotted this pony car next to the Carillon in Bathurst.

2014 Parkes Elvis Festival

Here's some of our photos from this year's Parkes Elvis Festival.

That's right, check out the number plate...

Below: Jason Kennedy's 1972 Gran Torino- the only example in Australia.

Another Kennedy Car- this one a showroom condition Mustang Fastback.

After seeing the parade I've started dreaming about this car for sale. Alas...it's ain't gonna happen anytime soon.
