Results Oldtimer Gallery Gstaad Auction 2021 - more enthusiasm for automotive youth than for stylishly aged vehicles
Summary
In surprisingly warm but very humid weather, the Oldtimer Galerie Toffen welcomed its customers to the end-of-year auction in Gstaad on December 29, 2021, which has already become a tradition after a year's break. There were 44 vehicles on offer, around two thirds of which were sold immediately or with reservations. The most expensive car was a 2018 Ford GT, but a Ferrari Testarossa, a Mercedes-Benz 190 SL, a VW Beetle Cabriolet and a Chevrolet Corvette also fetched prices well above expectations. This auction review provides an insight into the atmosphere on site, analyzes the results and shows all the vehicles in pictures.

Preview (beginning of the article)
In 2020, the already well-established Gstaad auction at the Oldtimer Galerie Toffen had to be canceled, but the tradition could be resumed on 29 December 2021 despite renewed corona waves. However, Gstaad as an internationally renowned and legendary winter sports destination was unable to shine with a cheerful snow flurry and snow-covered landscape, but was robbed of at least some of its charm by a warm spell and continuous rain on the Wednesday before New Year's Eve. However, this was probably not a bad omen for the auction, as the bidders were able to concentrate fully on the auction and leave their skis at the hotel.
