Captain America vehicles 'all sell at auction'

Vehicles from the set of the recent Captain America - The First Avenger film have gone under the hammer.

All the lots (56 motors) were auctioned at the Historics at Brooklands sale that included a 1933 Dodge Tow Truck, which came from the Nevada Desert complete with genuine bullet holes on the driver's wing and bonnet.

It fetched £10,200 in the sale, much more than its pre-sale estimate of between £1,000 and £3,000.

Other classic cars from the movie - which is set to hit the big screen in July this year - included a dark blue 1948 Chrysler Windsor, which made double its estimate when it went under the hammer for £8,700.

The vehicles were used during the filming of the motion picture - which features US actor Chris Evans and Men in Black star Tommy Lee Jones - at Shepperton Studios and on-set in Manchester and Liverpool in the UK.
