Australia’s oldest Holden museum closed its doors on April 14, and now the items it once housed are being sold off.

The auction is happening through company Burns & Co, with the auction conducted on-site at the now-closed museum at 11 Warren St, Echuca.

People can inspect items between 10am and 3pm on Thursday and Friday. However, Burns & Co has made it clear that this does not include starting any engines.

On Saturday from 8am, lots 1 to 600 are up for auction. This includes a lot of memorabilia like old Holden dealership brochures and a Shell Motor Oil sign.

On Sunday from 9am, Lots 601 to 731 will be auctioned, and this includes the biggest items, the cars.
