Re: Majestic Major Auction in Australia November

Hi Everyone
The live online auction for this car starts here in Australia in about 45 minutes.
Don’t miss out on a really good example of the Majestic Major.
Think of the beneficial exchange rates at the moment when you see the prices in Australian dollars!
