For a while back in the eighties these old British bangers were favoured by smash up derby drivers due to their tank like qualities. Such blatant lack of respect for some of the Mother country’s finest has resulted in most of these old timers being reduced to scrap. Few remain, and even fewer remain in this condition meaning this rather stately looking Super Snipe is a very rare sight. And you can buy it at Turners.

It’s not just cars that Turners sell. Pretty much everything comes through the gates and some of it is pretty cool, strange or unexpected. This 10 metre wooden launch probably falls into the unexpected category due to its size and the fact it’s not sitting in the water. But with sea levels on the rise and flooding becoming more common it could be a useful addition to your back section.

Some cars with crazy colour schemes can be “all mouth and no trousers” when it comes to delivering performance to match the looks. But this 2015 Ford Focus ST’s attention seeking hi-viz colour is backed up with some pretty impressive power and handling. And you can buy this one when it’s auctioned next week at Turners Hamilton.

It may not be the prettiest car ever to drive down the road but the old Volvo 244GLE is a solid, reliable classic with a surprising motorsport pedigree. This 1982 model at Turners Dunedin has been owned by a father and son since new and is in pretty decent nick for 30+ years old. And there’s something kind of cool about the Swedish flying brick.

If you want to go fishing but don’t want to cast a line off a beach and don’t want the hassle of a boat or the effort of a kayak then this fully set up Sea-Doo could be the answer. The trip to where the fish are biting will be fast and exciting and if you catch something too big to bring on board then you can tow it home.

It may look like it comes from way back in Harley Davidson’s history but this Harley cruiser is actually from 1986. Although it’s not as old as it looks this Softail Heritage is quite a historic machine and it’s being auctioned right now.

It would make a great promotional vehicle or a big boy’s toy, but you know what, this 1978 International fire appliance would make a pretty good fire engine for putting out fires and stuff. Whatever you’d want to use it for is up to you, all you’ve got to do is bid.
