Preview (beginning of the article)
The major Zoute Concours d'Elégance had to be canceled in 2020, but Bonhams held on to the auction in Belgium and put 30 classic cars worth EUR 11.7 million (as well as five mini motorcycles) under the hammer in Knokke-Heist on October 11, 2020. Knokke-Heist is located in the north of Belgium and almost by the sea. The auction took place in front of an audience, and the use of adjoining rooms ensured the necessary social distancing due to Covid-19. With seven Ferrari sports cars, the Italian brand led the list of lots, followed by BMW (3 cars). Especially exotic brands were missing. Two pre-war cars were on offer, but seven neoclassics, of which only four could be sold, including both Ford GTs (2005/2018) and an Alfa Romeo 8C Spider from 2010 (offered at EUR 170,000).
