Ewen-Gilmour-Sells-Turtle-Van-05

The 25th annual Variety fundraising Bash is taking place in March and sadly one of its most enthusiastic participants will be missing.  Renowned comedian Ewen Gilmour, who passed away in October, will be absent – but his team of Overage Mutant Ninja Turtles will be continuing his legacy and will be hitting the road for the week-long event.

To assist with their fundraising, which in turn benefits Variety and Kiwi kids, Ewen’s most recent Bash vehicle will be auctioned on TradeMe.

“Ewen’s family suggested the Van be sold and proceeds put towards the 2015 Bash, so this sale is taking place with their blessing,” said team member Ed Finn.

“Ewen was such a personality, a larger than life identity, and even in death he’s essentially doing his bit to help better the lives of sick, needy, underprivileged and less fortunate Kiwi children.”

The Turtle Van was used in the 2014 Bash and has been in storage since Ewen’s passing.

“With less than eight weeks until the start of the 25th anniversary Bash, now is the right time to sell the Turtle,” said Finn.

“The Van has many memories and stories, but now is the chance for one of Ewen’s many fans to own a unique piece of memorabilia, or alternatively a fantastic all-wheel drive vehicle in which to have their own adventures.”

To find this and other fundraising charity auction items, visit TradeMe.co.nz and search ‘Ewen Gilmour.’  The auctions conclude on Monday evening.

It started at a young age with bedroom posters, the Countach of course. This slowly grew into a super car die-cast model collection, fifty five 1:18 models at the last count. At which point it had almost taken full control, the incurable Mad Car Disease ran deep though my veins all the way to the bone. And things for my loved ones just got worse as the cars where now being bought at 1:1 scale, after a BMW, HSV, and couple of Audi's, the disease reached my brain, pushing me over the edge and down the rabbits hole into the world of the bedroom poster.
