From the ABC:
Rare car to star at Motorclassica

Quote
A rare Tucker car that has arrived in Australia for the Motorclassica, the three-day Australian International Concours d'Elegance and Classic Motor Show. The Tucker, which is worth more than $1 million, is powered by a rear-mounted helicopter engine and will appear at the car show that starts in Melbourne on October 23.
The opportunity to see a Tucker up close and personal doesn't come along every day. It would certainly get me along to the show if I was in Melbourne...
cheers

I agree Richard, that's one cool car and I'd love to see it in the flesh.
There's lots of great info on the interweb about these amazing cars and the equally amazing guy behind them. Nearly all of the cars are quite well documented and have interesting histories. Incredibly 51 were built,
and 47 are left and accounted for
.
I am guessing that the Melbourne display car will be
this one
The Tuckers history is worth a read if you've got a few spare hours.

It would be great to see one of these cars... as RET says, the chance doesn't crop up everyday. For those who don't know, there was a movie made a while back simply called 'Tucker'. Worth a look. Features one of the many acting Bridges brothers, but the stars are the Tucker cars themselves.
A couple of months ago on Ebay USA, there were some Tucker items for sale- showroom display, mockups of some car parts, and a grille surround. All went for tidy sums of money.

Here's a link to
details of the movie
. As Shayne says, it's a good flick (much of the true Tucker story is in there, although it's been given the Hollywood treatment). And it stars Jeff Bridges, before he went on to be The Dude in The Big Lebowski
