Walkinshaw Andretti United’s chassis 24, which Scott Pye drove to victory at the Australian Grand Prix earlier this year will be auctioned on the eve of the Bathurst 1000 through Lloyds Auctions and include a VIP experience with the team.
The chassis will then be delivered to the new owner at the completion of the 2019 Supercars season.
In an innovative new programme never before seen in Supercars, the auction of the chassis will take place through Walkinshaw Andretti United’s official auctioneer, Lloyds Auctioneers and Valuers, with online bidding available on their website at lloydsauctions.com.au.
Chassis 24, which Pye is currently piloting in the 2018 Virgin Australia Supercars Championship, made its race debut at the Adelaide 500 in March 2018, and could yet be a major race winner again before it is handed over to the new owner.
Great for collectors and racers alike, it will be sold as a rolling chassis, excluding engine. That means the car, which will be delivered as per the specification that started the 2018 season, will include items such as the front suspension and upright assembly, wheels, tyres and exhaust system. The new owner will also have the choice of selecting any livery which appeared on the car during the 2018-19 seasons.
The lucky owner of chassis 24 will also be entitled to special benefits with the team during the 2019 Supercars Championship season, such as hard card passes, hot laps, signed panels, and hospitality at the Bathurst 1000.

Bruce Stewart - Co-Team Principal
“It’s extremely exciting to be able to offer the sale of one of our current race cars, through a known, trusted and exceptional company like Lloyds Auctioneers and Valuers.
“It’s something that hasn’t been seen in Supercars before, it’s innovative and ground-breaking, so to be the pioneers locally is a real honour. It’s something we’ve seen work well through our counterparts in America, Andretti Autosport, so we are really looking forward to seeing what we can achieve.
“To own a Walkinshaw Andretti United built and prepared car is a rare opportunity, so it’s thrilling to be able to give the public the chance, especially a car with so much significance.
“Not only that, but the added benefits means the owner will be part of the team, as their car takes the track.”
