Is a link to an auction site, I dont know any more details than Ive already stated. I heard a work mate talking about it, so I looked it up. It sounds like an old gezzer died by the sounds of it after collecting many items. (only my guess tho)

Super charged mk1 T top Mr2.

Ke25? Corolla Sr?

And many more sort after cars.

Shame he saw the need to keep roofs down, T-tops open, sunroofs open and windows open, just imagine the build up of bird poo inside those cars. If they had been kept better some of those would be worth moon beams. Guess the Porsche and the Merc will fetch a bit of coin, looks like those 2 were his favorites judging by the lack of bird poo & dust......

He certainly wasn't picky about what junk he collected either. Again none of it looked after which is a shame.

Hard to tell from photos but I think I might know where this is. Not too many large, newish looking barns around Rolleston.

MG roadster thing

Is it wrong that I can tell that by the spare tyre?

It's a shame the auctioneer doesn't give them a quick dust or pay a student to get out some soap & water... Might help out the client and themselves.

Very cool find.

If I am right,that Porsche was sold at Turners damaged auction many years ago(old geezer bought it) for silly money,something like $26000 for a water damaged car and possibly was salt water damaged.The old guy must have passed away,remember him being at lots of auctions.

Can't believe it's on that weekend, I'll be working all weekend on stupid coast to coast. Might have to send my old man along.
