An auction for vintage items from an iconic Whangarei business attracted huge interest and raised more than $60,000.
Whangarei Traders and Auctions auctioned the contents of a large shed full of Normans' Motors property on Sunday.
Darryl Penrose from Whangarei Traders and Auctions said he had a higher level of pre-auction online interest than for any other auction he'd held.
Pete Norman, selling the remains of the 90-year-old family business, said there was a vast variety of goods, including hubcaps, lights, lenses, switches, tools, spark plugs, gear boxes, glass cleaner and much more, including old vehicles.
Mr Penrose said a rare 1934 Chrysler Airflow didn't sell at auction, but went to a bidder for $15,000, plus buyer's premium, after the hammer went down.
