Bombshells to Blasters, An Auction You Can't Refuse Pt. 1

Lot #123:

Hugh Keays-Byrne Buggy from Mad Max Fury Road

Warner Bros., 2015. Studio assembled right-hand drive, stick shift vehicle consists of a base 1948 Hillman Minx body expertly distressed and with rusted armor embellishments and oversize tires built on a Mitsubishi L300 4x4 chassis. Production-weathered red and silver with theatrical desert rust, the interior has been stripped down to the minimum leaving only the driver's seat and a battery kill switch, a safety roll-bar cage, and an emergency hand brake installed for stunt maneuvers. Other features include vented metal window shields, open sunroof, thick pipe front bumper, and two metal side exhaust pipes. In the post-apocalyptic blockbuster, Immortan Joe's (Keane-Byrne) hoards of minion called, "War Boys" drive these hopped-up armored vehicles, which are unique and as much characters as any of the humans. This Hillman Buggy appeared on the back of the villainous Joe's car-carrier. It is also known to have been used in other scenes that ended up on the cutting room floor. The vehicle's gas tank was removed post-production for safety in transportation, but has currently been replaced with a racing cell gas tank. The impressive vehicle is unregistered, and sold as a prop for display purposes only. Not intended for driving. The car measures 160 x 65 x 84 in. Electronics/mechanicals present and operational at the time of this writing. Special shipping arrangements will apply.
