A car collector’s dream find is currently waiting in Lancefield.
On auction is a 1947 Mercury in exceptional condition, alongside multiple other classic cars found in a deceased estate’s shed.
Belonging to local Danny Davis, the car was a cherished item in his collection, and after his passing, the Mercury and his collection wound up in the hands of his brother, Phil Davis.
“The reason Danny bought that car was that type of car, exact colour and everything is the very first car I remember our dad having when we were kids,” he said.
The classic piece of his collection was a prized treasure, and Mr Davis said the right-hand-drive car is in excellent condition, and still runs and drives.
Other cars on auction from the collection include a 1965 Ford F100 and a 1967 Falcon sport coupe, as well as some other classic finds.
“There’s a whole Kustom Kulture and one of their favourite vehicles is the 1951 twin spinner Fords, and there’s a number of those coming up,” Mr Davis said.
“There’s two utes and a four-door sedan and a two-door coupe (on auction as well).”
There’s also spare parts and workshop equipment ready to keep the cars in tip-top shape.
There will be an inspection opportunity in Lancefield on August 29, from noon to 2pm, before the auction takes place online on August 31.
