A ’69 Holden Monaro is among the treasures Collecting Cars will be auctioning at this year’s Noosa Concours d’Elegance.
“This assembly of special cars reflects the diversity of rare and fascinating machinery that makes the annual Noosa Concours so special,” Collecting Cars Head of APAC Lee Hallett said.
True to form, Collecting Cars will be offering a number of highly sought-after vehicles for auction at this year’s event on July 19.
This includes:
A 1969 Holden HK Monaro GTS, a multi-award-winning ‘survivor’ muscle car regarded as one of the most original examples in Australia. With only 628 produced with the small-block Chevrolet V8, this ‘white on white’ example is a rare find, indicating just 99,612 miles.
A 1967 Jaguar XKE fixed-head coupe, a highly original Australian-market example finished in Opalescent Silver Grey. First delivered by Bryson Industries Ltd in Melbourne, it is the eightieth-to-last Series 1 example produced and indicates 68,025 miles.
A 1939 Alvis Speed 25 Tourer, one of fewer than 200 made between 1937 and 1940. Originally built to police specification and fitted with a siren, this Cream-and-Blue example was exported to Australia in 1965 and currently indicates 66,365 miles.
A 1965 Ford Thunderbird ‘Special Landau’ edition, showing just 42,480 miles. This 390 V8-powered variant sports a unique paint finish, a Parchment vinyl roof, and ‘Special Landau’ exterior and interior plaques. Collecting Cars will be sponsoring the event’s Drivers Pavilion, renamed ‘The Collecting Cars Drivers Lounge’. The Noosa Concours d’Elegance will take place on Hastings Street in Noosa on Saturday, 19 July.
