Summary

On the occasion of the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Bonhams organized an auction with 61 selected road and racing cars. The star of the event was certainly the Mercedes-Benz W196R F1 racing car in which Fangio won the German and Swiss GPs. A new world record was achieved with € 22 million or CHF 28 million, but the other vehicles sold also achieved impressive sums. This auction report looks at some of the bids and shows the results in detail in tabular form. The article is illustrated by some of the vehicles sold.

Preview (beginning of the article)

The ex-Fangio Mercedes-Benz W196R from 1954 had been the talk of the town. The Argentinian won the German and Swiss Grand Prix with it, which also secured him the world championship title. An important one, but the price achieved still surprised the experts. The buyer was prepared to pay a whopping £ 19.6 million, the equivalent of € 22 million or CHF 28 million. This set a new absolute auction record. A video shows the dramatic moment. But the results of the auction, which Bonhams hosted on July 12, 2013 on the occasion of the Goodwood Festival of Speed , were also impressive, as 84% of the cars on offer were sold and the price level was considerable. In any case, the tent was very well attended and the phone lines were almost red-hot.
