Turners' prestige auction has something for everyone

American muscle, European style and an Aussie brute

Modern American muscle, European style, and Aussie brute will go under the hammer this weekend at Turners Auctions in its first prestige auction of 2012.

A race-bred 1999 Dodge Viper GTS leads the pack, sporting an eight litre V10 engine capable of reaching the motorway speed limit in four seconds flat. This stunning example of modern muscle has only 13,000 miles on the clock and is tipped to sell for between $70,000 and $80,000.

The prestige auction is the last opportunity to get hold of a Government BMW as the final three vehicles from the Government's fleet of 2008 BMW 730 LDs will also be up for grabs. These cars will sit alongside a 2007 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG, 2011 Lexus IS350 and a 2003 Porsche Cayenne.

A bold 2010 Chevrolet Camaro 2SS/RS, a 2006 Ford F150, as well as two Ford Mustang GT coupes (2005, 2006) will also be on offer to keep the American car enthusiasts happy.

Aussie V8 lovers will have the option of bidding on a 2011 HSV (Holden) Maloo R8.

"This month's prestige auction is one of the most diverse to date. There are unique and exotic vehicles from America, Germany, Japan and Australia, so there should be something for everyone," says Graham Roberts, Turners Auctions CEO.

The Turners Prestige auction will begin at 12pm noon on Saturday 31 March at Turners Penrose, corner of Penrose & Leonard Roads, Auckland. Bidders are welcome to inspect the vehicles prior to the auction.

Bidders will be able to participate in the auction in person at the branch, by online bidding, or via phone bid. To find out more and to see the full auction catalogue, go to the Turners website: www.turners.co.nz
