Summary
As usual, the spring auction of the Oldtimer Galerie Toffen was to take place on March 28, 2020, with 86 vehicles worth CHF 3 million (EUR 2.8 million). But in times of the coronavirus pandemic, nothing is as it was before. Nevertheless, the Oldtimer Galerie ventured into the unknown and went ahead with the auction, without an audience on site, but with a lot of enthusiasm and elaborate preparation. The risk paid off! Over 60 percent of the vehicles were sold and a further quarter were knocked down under reserve. This is a respectable result, even if one very expensive car was left standing. This report analyzes the results, gives an insight into how the auction was prepared and carried out, and shows pictures of all the auctioned cars.

Preview (beginning of the article)
Normally, the auctions in the old factory hall of the Oldtimer Galerie in Toffen have a certain folk festival character. There is a lot of laughter and smiles, the atmosphere is relaxed and the auctioneer is entertaining. Bratwurst is snacked on before and after and the odd beer is drunk. On March 28, 2020, however, everything was different, because due to the coronavirus pandemic, events are banned in Switzerland and all surrounding countries. While other auction houses canceled their auctions, Reinhard Schmidlin and his team decided to go ahead with the sale, which had already been prepared, without an audience.
