CLOSED 25 March 2022: Drake Collectibles Opportunity to Collect for a Cause!
Drake Collectibles and Mactrans Heavy Haulage are teaming up to raise funds for White Ribbon Australia.
To support this vital cause, we are auctioning off a limited edition diecast model of the Mactrans “Stop Domestic Violence” Kenworth K200. This replica is number 1 of only 750, and is made complete with a Drake Trailers 5×8 Swingwing, 2×8 Dolly combination, and certificate of authenticity.
The Auction is live from 1pm Friday 18 March 2022 – 1pm Friday 25 March! That’s 7 days to place your bid.
All proceeds from the auction will go to White Ribbon Australia.
The Mactrans “Stop Domestic Violence” Kenworth K200
Mussy and Yasmin Deen purchased this special new Kenworth K200 Truck in 2019, adding to Mactrans Heavy Haulage’s already extensive fleet of over 45 trucks. Mactrans Heavy Haulage are well known for their highly decorated fleet, and Yasmin and Mussy agreed that their new truck would be made especially to support women. This is how the “Stop Domestic Violence” Kenworth came about.
The truck proudly displays its powerful message “Stop Violence Against Women” in prime position at the rear of the cabin, with a mural of a woman holding up a hand to say no more.
White Ribbon’s 1800 RESPECT phone number is clearly visible – offering a 24-hour national sexual assault, family and domestic violence counselling line for all Australians.
The artwork on both the sides and rear of the cabin also incorporates the signature White Ribbon.
The custom number plate reinforces the powerful message: STOP DV. The Mussy’s had to get it specially approved with PPQ plates, and fought for its inclusion, knowing how important it is to the overall message.
The end result is a truly special truck that will take this vital message out on the roads to get behind the individuals and families affected by domestic violence.
About This Special Collectible for A Cause
The model on auction is a a 1/50 scale diecast replica of the Mactrans Heavy Haulage’s “Stop Domestic Violence” Kenworth K200 truck. The artwork on this replica is second to none – it comes complete with all mural detailing to match the lifesize version.
