It was a colourful auction consisting of 21 motorcycles and 24 cars that Auctionata organized on 8 December 2016. Appetizing two-wheelers and a diverse range of cars should have made for exciting bidding wars, but the buyers held back. Perhaps many were already at Christmas parties or decorating the Christmas tree. In any case, some lots got stuck at the starting price and 68% of the lots were not sold.

With a sales rate of 41% (albeit all under reserve), cars fared slightly better than motorcycles, of which just 24% were sold under reserve.

The highest bids were mostly far from the estimated values, with the white Porsche 930 Turbo from 1987 performing best, reaching 81% of the estimate at EUR 65,000 (CHF 69,550) as the highest bid.

Wide range of cars on offer

The range of four-wheeled vehicles on offer was pleasingly diverse. Of course, it included larger Mercedes and Porsche contingents, but there was also a Fiat 500, an Autobianchi Panoramica and a Citroën 2CV from 1957.

Fiat 500 L (1969) - offered as lot 22 at the Auctionata "Classic Cars & Racing Bikes" auction on December 8, 2016

When usable bids were received, they reached an average of 63% of the estimated value for the cars. The first car, a 1969 Fiat 500 L, was knocked down for EUR 5500 (CHF 5885) with reserve. If the consignor and buyer can still reach an agreement, the surcharge (15%) will be added.

Rare Baehr convertible based on a Stricht eight

The Mercedes-Benz 250 E/8 from 1972 (lot 26), which was converted into a convertible by Baehr, was certainly a rarity. The car once belonged to figure skater Robin Szolkowy, who became world and European champion in pairs skating, and is now worth EUR 24,000.

Mercedes-Benz 250 E/8 Cabriolet (1972) - offered as lot 26 at the Auctionata "Classic Cars & Racing Bikes" auction on December 8, 2016

However, no one wanted to bid more than EUR 15,000 (CHF 16,050) and the car was knocked down subject to reserve.

Rare Lancia Montecarlo

Another interesting vehicle was the Lancia Beta Montecarlo 2.0 from 1975. It was from the first series (still without the C-pillar windows) and appeared to be in good condition.

However, the starting price of EUR 10,000 was already too high a hurdle and the car remained unsold.

This was also the case with the 1972 Opel GT/J and the 1992 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit 2.

Ferrari Berlinetta as the most valuable car

The highest bid of the evening was received for the Ferrari 512 BB from 1980, but the EUR 240,000 (CHF 256,800) offered was far from the reserve price, which was probably over EUR 300,000 given the estimate of EUR 320,000.

The 1967 Brabham BT23, once driven by Jochen Rindt, did not attract any bids at all; apparently there was no one among the bidders who was prepared to risk even the starting price of EUR 170,000.

Brabham Formula 2 (1967) - offered as lot 33 at the Auctionata "Classic Cars & Racing Bikes" auction on December 8, 2016

All in all, this was a rather sobering event. Many of the vehicles had already been seen at previous Auctionata auctions (with hardly any more success). Whether it was due to the date, the time or the offer that the bidding was not higher is certainly the subject of heated internal debate at Auctionata.

Vehicles offered and knocked down

The following list shows all vehicles offered with starting and estimated prices in EUR, as well as highest bids (without surcharge/commission) in EUR and CHF. The conversion was made at the daily exchange rate (1 EUR = 1.07 CHF). The column "% Est" compares the highest bid with the estimated price. The table represents the status at the end of the auction. Subsequently, Lot 4, the BMW K100 RS/1 "Café Racer" from 1990, was finally sold for EUR 8050 (incl. buyer's premium) (as of December 11, 2016).
