On September 17, 2011 , the Oldtimer Gallery in Toffen will once again be holding its popular "No Limit" auction. This is characterized by the fact that there is no minimum hammer price for the vehicles on offer. If the bid remains far below the estimated price, it will still be sold. Other auction houses call this type of auction "no reserve".
Over seventy vehicles are on offer, a good 20 of which were built before 1970. The majority of the lots are oldtimers or youngtimers, although there are also a few younger cars up for auction.
The offer ranges from an Alfa Romeo 1600 GT Junior Corsa from 1973 with racing car FIA registration to the Maserati Quattroporte I from 1967 , of which only 419 were built, i.e. from racing cars to rare family saloons. There are also commercial vehicles, convertibles, station wagons and microcars on the list.
Of course, at a "No Limit" auction you can't expect an army of high-priced and top-restored classics like at the recent RM auction in Monterey, for example. However, the vehicles on offer are priced in a completely different range and the "No Limit" mode enables one or two classic and modern classic car fans to perhaps fulfilla long-cherished wish for little money.
The auction list also includes absolutely rare classics such as the Peugeot 202 Camionette from 1949, the Zaporozhez ZAZ 965 A from 1965, the rare Fiat Dino Coupé from 1968 with the aluminum two-liter engine or the Maserati-powered Citroën SM from 1971.
We presented the Honda S600 from 1966 in a detailed article a few days ago, as well as the Ford 17M 1700 S Turnier from 1967 , to which we also dedicated a report.
Part of the auction offer can be found in the Zwischengas vehicle market, the entire offer can be viewed on the website of the Oldtimer Galerie Toffen .
To get you in the mood, we have put together a small gallery of vehicles . In addition, the following list shows all cars registered for the auction on September 11, 2011 up to 1990.
