Rallying memorabilia up for grabs

The Australian Rally Museum’s annual Historical Project and Fundraiser will be held in conjunction with this year’s Australian Rally Hall of Fame gala evening on February 27.

Each year the museum has five different ‘Commemorative Display Pieces’ commissioned to be auctioned. These pieces, which will be offered individually for auction, are the only examples ever to be offered for sale.

All but one of the pieces feature hand signed autographs of rally greats, including both past and present World Rally Champion drivers and co-drivers.  The model cars used in three of the pieces are extremely collectible, even before they have been Rally Australia customised.

All have been framed under acrylic (not glass), and are completed with a handsome frame. They are able to be packaged and shipped to any location worldwide.

The three model dioramas have been tastefully lit using 12 volt LED lighting, which can be adapted to any mains supply.

Finally, each piece will come with an authenticity certificate endorsed by former World Rally Champion, Ari Vatanen, who will be a guest speaker on the evening of the auction.

This is a rare opportunity to own one of these iconic Australian rally commemoratives.

For a detailed description of the auction pieces and/or an absentee bidding sheet, please email  [email protected] with the word “Auction” in the heading, before February 24, 2014.
