Hummer under the hammer

  • The Daily Telegraph
image This metallic blue hummer could be yours... It is expected to fetch between $40,000-$50,000.

The Hummer H1 ? the civilian version of the US Army's Desert Storm HMMWV ? is the original bad boy of the off-road brigade and this one has history.

The menacing, metallic blue Hummer was originally owned by flamboyant tennis star Mark Philippoussis and will go under the hammer with no reserve price at Shannons Melbourne Summer Auction on November 24.

The Scud fell in love with the Hummer at the Melbourne International Motor Show almost a decade ago and purchased it on the spot, keeping it in Australia.

Two owners and an indicated 29,900km later, Shannons says the Hummer's good condition and low mileage suggest it has spent most of its life as an urban, rather than a desert, stormer.

The vehicle is expected to sell in the $40,000-$50,000 price range — about a quarter of its original new purchase price.
