The auction is being hosted by Lloyds Auctions and will be a part of the inaugural PIRTEK Legends Night, which will pay tribute to Dick Johnson at the JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa on Friday October 25 in conjunction with the Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 weekend.
The items will remain in place until the PIRTEK Legends Night goes live at 9pm (AEST) on October 25 with Lloyds simulcasting live from the JW Marriott Ballroom. Meaning you can place your final bids from home or if you are a guest at the dinner.
These images have been printed A3 on quality Fuji paper and framed to A2 with a white matting.
They will be on display throughout the JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa for the duration of the Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 race week.
The images for the one-off prints have been generously donated by Ray Berghouse, Andrew Hall, Mark Horsburgh, Dirk Klynsmith, John Morris and the family of the late Bill Forsyth.
On the back of each framed image is a biography of the shooter and an explanation in their own words of why they chose their particular image for the auction and what it means to them.
PIRTEK Legends Night coordinator, Brett “Crusher” Murray, says he believes the images will stir up some emotion and encourage some fans to open up their wallets and bid.
“The six images that have been donated are all quite different, come from different eras and really offer something for a cross-section of fans,” said Murray.
“We have to thank all the photographers for their generous donations and for the time and effort they put into carefully choosing their contributions.
“Each one of them would look stunning in any office or man cave.
“It will be interesting to see which image wins the ‘most popular’ vote with the highest bid.”
ABOUT THE PIRTEK LEGENDS NIGHT
Less than 60 tickets remain for the dinner and can be purchased here.
The inaugural PIRTEK Legends Night and charity auction is being held at the JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa on Friday, October 25, 2024.
100 percent of proceeds from all auction items will be donated to Motorsport Ministries, who do an amazing job supporting the motorsport industry at all levels in Australia.
This has been made possible by the generosity of the people and businesses that have donated the incredible list of items and by Lloyds’ generous “premium-free” support of the event.
This on-line auction will go live from the dinner at the JW Marriott Ballroom and will be simulcast on-line by Lloyds Auctions.
The PIRTEK Legends Dinner will pay tribute to Australian Touring Car Legend Dick Johnson, who will be in attendance on the night, along with several other heroes of Australian motorsport.
