Hollywood history up for auction

Now’s your chance to own a piece of Hollywood history, with movie prop vehicles going under the hammer this weekend starting from just $1.

And up for grabs is the 1953 Chevrolet Pickup used in the infamous Baz Luhrmann Elvis movie as one of the main cars driven in the film. Fresh from its Hollywood starring role, it is in great condition, and completely original ready to find its new home.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for all movie buffs to own their own piece from an iconic movie everyone knows and loves,” Lee Hames, Chief Operations Officer for Lloyds Auctions, said. “Imagine driving and owning the vehicle that Austin Butler drove in the Elvis film, this opportunity doesn’t present itself every day, so bidders need to get in quick."

Also on offer is a Back to the Future 1982 DeLorean DMC-12 conversion. “This vehicle is ready to get up and go and is sure to be a head turner, decked out with some of the highest quality props and made to be almost an exact replica from the Back to the Future film,” said Mr Hames said.

These two iconic movie vehicles alongside over 370 other classic cars will be going under the hammer this Saturday November 26 from 10:00am.
