Preview (beginning of the article)
Bruce Weiner is a tenacious collector. How else would he have managed to amass what is probably the largest collection of microcars in just 15 years and bring it together in a museum (Bruce Weiner Microcar Museum)? Weiner was primarily interested in hunting rather than owning, or so he says. That's why he now wants to bring the 200 vehicles, together with around 300 exhibition items (from toys to neon lighting), back to the people. And he has chosen the RM auction house as his partner, which will be going under the hammer on February 15 and 16. Vehicles from 95 different manufacturers will be offered for sale, with Messerschmitt taking the largest share with 23 small vehicles, followed by BMW and Goggomobil, as well as Mochet. Brands that have long been forgotten are on offer, or who remembers Ardex, Avolette, Biscuter, Brütsch, Champion, Empolini, Frisky, Gutbrod, Hillers, Julien, Rollera, Velocar or Solyto?
