Preview (beginning of the article)

On the occasion of the Spa Classic, Bonhams held an auction of sports and racing cars on May 25, 2013. The offer was rich and offered 55 vehicles covering different brands, nations and price segments. Was it the weather (rainy) that kept some of the expected bidders away? In any case, an analysis of the results reveals a mixed picture: while lots such as the Porsche Carrera RS or Ferrari 275 GTB, as well as two Mercedes-Benz sports cars, sold very well, a good half of the vehicles on offer could not be knocked down. The only common denominator was a tendency towards well-known and highly sought-after investment classics.
