" Top Money for Quality Classics at Inaugural
Shannons Brisbane Motor Show Auction "
With a over-capacity crowd of more than 1,000
squeezed into the Plaza Terrace Room of the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition
Centre and more than $1 million spent by bidders on a range of quality classic
cars, number plates and memorabilia, the inaugural Shannons Brisbane
International Moor Show Auction was judged a major success by both Shannons and
the Show’s organisers.
Cashed-up phone and floor bidders purchased
more than 60 per cent of the 49 lots on offer, but the big money was spent on
classic cars with world market appeal.
The top-selling lot at $180,000 was a 1968
left hand drive Candy Apple Red Shelby Mustang GT500 Fastback that had been
restored to concours standard in the mid-1990s and rarely driven since.
Running it close and selling comfortable above
its reserve, was an original factory right hand drive concours-winning1959
Mercedes-Benz 220S Cabriolet that had been the subject of a no-expense-spared
restoration by Brisbane Mercedes-Benz specialists Sleeping Beauties in the early
1990s.
Other classic Germans to sell well were a
fully-restored silver with red leather 1962 Mercedes-Benz 190SL Convertible that
made $100,000 and a cosmetically unrestored and very original Signal Red 1963
Porsche 356C Coupe, that sold for $49,000.
Sporting cars to sell at the auction included
stunningly-restored Congo Green with Cream interior 1965 Ford Mustang
Convertible that went for $60,000 and a 1984 Ferrari Mondial QV Coupe in
factory-original condition that had covered just 118,000km since new that sold
for $37,500.
Amongst the muscle cars on offer, a brand new
2007 Ford Falcon BF GT Cobra sedan with six-speed manual gearbox sold for an
excellent $92,000– well above Ford’s recommended retail price of $65,110 when
the limited edition of 400 Cobras was released in October last year.
Another outstanding result for an Australian
car was the $29,000 paid for a totally restored and completely correct 1954
two-tone green Holden FJ Special Sedan, while an unrestored 1951 Holden 48-215
(FX) sedan went for $7,750.
Of the vintage cars on offer, the outstanding
sale was the $155,000 paid for a Concours d'Elegance-winning 1928 Stutz Model BB
with a Wymann-type Sports Tourer body.
A number of special-interest number plates
were also on offer, with the top money being the $25,000 paid for the Heritage
plate ‘Q154’. ‘Q549’ went for $18,000 and the Queensland plate ‘0000000’ sold
with no reserve for $13,000.
Amongst the personalised plates, ‘PETE 05’
personally signed by the late Peter Brock, sold with no reserve for $4,500.
