Summary

As has been the case for many years, the Oldtimer Gallery's spring auction took place in Toffen on March 25, 2023. 81 vehicles, 75 of which were wide-ranging automobiles, went under the hammer in front of a large audience. 60% of the vehicles were sold directly for around CHF 800,000, a further 20% were knocked down "under reserve", while the rest (20%) remained unsold. The most expensive car sold was a Mercedes-Benz 190 SL for CHF 134,400. This auction review describes the atmosphere on site, analyzes the results and shows all the vehicles in pictures.

Preview (beginning of the article)

Every year in March, the Oldtimer Galerie invites guests to Toffen to bring two- to four-wheeled classics under the hammer at the opening of the season. On March 25, 2023, the time had come again and 75 cars and six two-wheelers worth over CHF 2.3 million were looking for new owners. Almost CHF 30,000 was expected per vehicle. More than 40% of the vehicles were offered without a reserve price, so interested parties could hope to find bargains. An auction in Toffen is always a small festival for car and motorcycle enthusiasts. However, the desire to arrive with your own classic car was significantly dampened by changeable weather conditions and sometimes heavy showers. Nevertheless, the auction room filled up by the time the auction started at 13:30, even if the pre-corona crowd numbers could not be reached.
