Ferret Scout Car up for auction
Shannons will offer Sydneysiders the opportunity to fall in love with this 'Cherie Armour'The fallout from the Global Financial Crisis is still raining down upon us, so beat 'Carmaggedon' with this hard-wearing 1956 Ferret Scout Car.
Shannons is offering the Ferret, which first saw service with the Australian Army, in its Sydney auction tonight. For a military enthusiast, the Ferret is, if not quite a solid-gold investment, at least a bulletproof one. According to Shannons, the Ferret is likely to pull between $12,000 and $18,000.
Among the other lots in the auctioneer's catalogue is an R129 Mercedes-Benz SL600 from 1993 (also pictured). This vehicle is expected to feature between $25,000 and $35,000. That's a lot of car for the money, which is barely 10 per cent of the car's original purchase price, by the way.
If you like your Mustangs, there's a 1970 Boss 302 valued at between $75,000 and $85,000. Or perhaps the Rolls-Royce 20/25 from 1933 (guiding value $70,000 to $80,000) is more your style. Splitting the blanket is the 1969 Lancia Fulvia 1600HF Rallye Coupe, for a price somewhere between $55,000 and $65,000.
The auction will take place at Unit B, 12 Frederick Street, St.Leonards from 7.00pm tonight.
