For the second time, Bonhams held an auction on the occasion of the Zoute Grand Prix on October 10, 2014. On offer were 37 vehicles with a total value of around 5.3 million euros. In the end, 29 cars were sold, which corresponds to a sales quota of 78% and raised EUR 3.8 million (CHF 4.6 million) from the buyers.

By and large, the sales prices at the very well-attended event leveled off at the level of the "estimates", with no major swings upwards or downwards, apart from the surprisingly expensive Alfa Romeo 8C Monza children's car from 1978 and an E-Type.

Ferrari F40 flagship from Nigel Mansell

Nigel Mansell's Ferrari F40, which he received new from the factory in 1989, was announced as one of the highlights. With a sales price of Euro 690,000 (CHF 834,348), the racing sports car for the roads fulfilled the high expectations.

Maserati Sebring 3700 Coupé (1969) - sold as lot 012 at the Bonhams Zoute auction in Knokke-Heist on October 10, 2014

Italians did well in Belgium, both the Maserati Sebring 3700 from 1969 and the Lamborghini Countach 5000 S from 1984 found new enthusiasts at the estimated price.

And at EUR 299,000 (CHF 361,550), a 1965 Lancia Flaminia Super Sport 2.8 3C is likely to have sold for a new record price.

Expensive Jaguar E-Type

The Bonhams team had estimated between 80,000 and 120,000 euros for a 1965 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Convertible and obviously underestimated the level of interest, as the convertible ultimately changed hands for 189,750 euros (CHF 229,445).

Bidders were less keen to spend money on the Jaguar FT Bertone 420 Coupé from 1966, which was only built twice. In the end, the buyer had to put down Euro 59,800 (CHF 72,310), which must have been a bargain given the rarity and provenance of this special bodywork despite its condition.

Swimming and fun cars sold

There was a special selection for those who were not enthusiastic about conventional convertibles, coupés or limousines, but were looking for something special.

An Amphicar 770 from 1964 was auctioned for just under the estimated price of 46,000 euros (CHF 55,623). The Morris Mini Moke from 1968 changed hands for 23,000 euros (CHF 27,811) and a fresh air fan was prepared to pay 14,950 euros (CHF 18,077) for the Citroën Méhari from 1979.

Porsche 356B 1600 Cabriolet (1962) - sold as lot 015 at the Bonhams Zoute auction in Knokke-Heist on October 10, 2014

The police Porsche 356 from 1962 can certainly be counted among the fun cars. With a sales price of 235,750 euros (CHF 285,068), it was knocked down well above the estimated value of 140,000 to 200,000 euros.

Unsold Aston Martin DB 4

It looked very nice in the pictures, the 1961 Aston Martin DB4 Series 3 and the estimated price of Euro 550,000 to 650,000 documented the consignor's idea of value. And although the bids rose to Euro 520,000, the owner was not prepared to let it go.

The Lancia Aurelia B24S Convertible from 1959, the Facel Vega FV3 Coupé from 1957, the Dino 246 GT from 1973, the Mercedes Benz 600 from 1966 and the Jaguar XK 140 SE DHC from 1955 also shared the Aston's fate.

The fact that nobody was prepared to pay between 12,000 and 18,000 euros for the couch table in the form of a compressed Ferrari 360 Modena is rather understandable.
