Mammoth car auction

A 1946 Peugeot 202 — believed to be the only one in Afrique de sud
A MAMMOTH collection of 500 lots of automobilia is set to go on auction over four days from November 6 to 8. 
The lot includes 70 vintage and classic cars and trucks, as well as over 100 000 rare spare parts. Among them a 1946 Peugeot 202 — believed to be the only one in South Africa — and a 1928 Buick convertible are expected to fetch high prices, but a trio of more modern muscle cars in the shape of a 1964 Dodge Polara, a 1964 Chevrolet Impala convertible and 1971 Ford Mustang will be popular.
The auction will be live-streamed on the following platforms: YouTube, the High Street Auctions website and on the High Street app; and the auctioneer will accept telephone bids, online bids and commission bids from those who cannot attend in person.
Old trucks, most of which featured in movies, are part of the large auction of veteran vehicles.

The refundable registration fee to bid is R20 000 and there are no minimum bids.
Wheels last month arranged a private viewing at the deceased estate on a farm near Stellenbosch and can report all the cars are in running order, but the trucks, several of which were used in movies, need a flatbed. More on www.highstreetauctions.com
