Photo Gallery «Oldtimer Gallery Dolder Auction 2017 - Sun and shade in a noble setting»

For once, the classic car gallery had to move the Dolder auction from the ice rink, which was undergoing renovation, to the nearby Grand Hotel Dolder. This meant that not only the selection of vehicles but also the number of bidders had to shrink. Despite this, vehicles were offered for over four million Swiss francs, 64 percent of which were sold or conditionally knocked down, including a magnificent 1956 Ford Thunderbird and the 2003 BWM Z8. This auction report shows the atmosphere on site and analyzes the results in detail. All vehicles are illustrated.

At CHF 62,000, the Thunderbird fetched a significantly higher price than the estimated value of CHF 50,000 to 60,000 - Auction of the classic car gallery at the Dolder Grand Hotel 2017
