An auction of the entire contents of a Northland museum drew a standing-room-only crowd of more than 400 people to Kerikeri.
Items under the hammer at Pete's Pioneer and Transport Museum on Saturday included classic and vintage cars, British motorcycles, and a huge collection of colonial era memorabilia.
Neil Campbell, of Webb's auction house, said 410 of the 450 lots were sold.
The highest prices paid, $37,000, were for a 1938 Dodge Brothers seven passenger limousine and a 1936 Studebaker bus.
Both went for well over their estimates of $13,000 to $18,000 for the Dodge and $10,000 to $20,000 for the bus. The next highest price was for the oldest car in the collection, a 1910 Sizaire Naudin, which sold for $36,000. That was below the estimate of $40,000 to $80,000.
