It won’t be the first hammer many of them have been introduced to either, as the set pieces were purpose-built, albeit roughly, to look like death machines that had survived an apocalypse.

13 vehicles from 'Mad Max: Fury Road' are headed for auction Back to video

Lloyd’s Online will host the event, selling off vehicles like the War Rig, a modified Czech 18-wheeler driven by Charlize Theron’s character in the movie; the Razor Cola, which is based on the 1973 Ford XB Falcon coupe; the Sabre Tooth ‘claw car’ fashioned from an old F250 tow truck; and the rolling concert stage known as the Doof Wagon. 

“Blown, super-turbo charged and armed to the teeth with weaponry and War Boys, the machines that outran the end of civilisation have been unearthed in the greatest barn-find ever recorded,” the website’s colourful and perhaps plagiarized collection description reads . “Nitrous, noxious, and no-nonsense harbingers of hell, marking man’s uncanny ability to wring beauty even from that designed for death and destruction, art from power, meaning from machine.”

Here’s the full list of vehicles being auctioned:

The auction will be live streamed on September 25 and 26. Hopefully that virtual process is a little more thoughtfully presented than Lloyds’ website, which also looks like it was cobbled together after the fall of mankind. For a preview of some of the cars being auctioned, check out the 2015 trailer below.
