Table of Contents
Budapest, Hungaryโฃ – โA remarkable collection of โคvehicles with silver-screen pedigrees is set to be auctioned, offering enthusiasts a rare โฃchanceโ to own a piece of cinematic โคhistory. Among the โขlots are two cars featured in prominent films: a modified 1977โข Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme from theโฃ 1987 sci-fiโ classic RobotCop, andโ a heavily customized 2006 Peugeot 407 from โฃthe 2018 installmentโฃ of the Taxi franchise.
Thisโฃ auctionโ presents a unique convergence of automotive and film memorabilia, appealing to collectors and fans alike. The vehicles, each bearing the distinctive marks ofโข their on-screen roles, represent a tangible link to beloved movies. The sale, taking place soon, will determine the future of these iconic props andโ potentiallyโ set new benchmarks โfor โฃfilm car valuations.
‘RobotCop’s’ Futuristicโ Patrol Car
One of three RobotCop โvehicles constructed for โthe original film, the oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme was radically transformed into a futuristic law enforcement sedan. Notably,this particular unit is one of only two remaining fully functional examples;โ the third was built solely as โa โnon-operational shell. The car’s extensive modifications belie its original 1977โ foundation.
While specificโ engine โdetails remain unconfirmed, a โ4.3-liter V8 is considered the most probable powerplant. Auction estimates place the vehicle’s value between HUF 11 million and HUF 19 million (approximatelyโ $30,000 – $52,000 USD).
‘Taxiโฃ 5’s’ โขStunning, Though Impaired, Peugeot
Also up for bid is the 2006 Peugeot 407 featured โin Taxi 5. This vehicle, dramatically altered โfor a memorable scene involving a ship, isโข missing its entire front half and is considered a non-functional display piece. Despite its incomplete state, the car’s elaborate exterior โขdetailing-includingโ prominent roof-mounted air intakes and undercarriage wings-makes it a visually striking item.
Due to its status as a static exhibit, the peugeot is โฃexpected to sell โขfor a more accessible HUF 1.1-2.3 million (approximately $3,000 – $6,300โ USD).The auctionโค offers โขa chance to acquire a unique piece of movie history,even in a partially disassembled form.
