MAX INTEREST AS MAD WHEELS UP FOR SALE
THE War Rig, Doof Wagon and Gigahorse are among 13 vehicles from George Miller’s classic, Mad Max: Fury Road, which will go under the hammer this weekend with “astronomical” interest from all over the world.
Lloyds Classic Car Auctions is seeking “expressions of madness” for all 13 vehicles, presenting it as an opportunity to “own an entire museum of modern masterpieces’’.
Lloyds head of classic car auctions Asia-pacific Max Cheney said they were getting about 100 calls and emails a day about the collection. He said the vehicles, all operational, “need to be driven in anger’’.
They will most-likely be sold as a collection with the vendor, who is associated with the film, determined to ensure they stay together as a piece of cinematic history.
Mr Cheney said there had been interest from Las Vegas casinos, a consortium of 13 Aussie blokes, highnet-worth individuals, and a group of car museums in the US. While he wouldn’t put even a ballpark price tag on the vehicles, Mr Cheney said it would “certainly be a world record”.
