Summary
Auctions at trade fairs are popular, and the hammer was also swung at the Swiss Classic World Lucerne on May 25, 2019. Oldtimer Galerie Toffen offered 45 cars and a motorcycle worth almost CHF 4.4 million (almost EUR 4 million). The offerings were varied, but the customers were picky. While some cars, such as a Mercedes-Benz 220 S Cabriolet or a Chevrolet Corvette C1, sold above expectations, other cars did not quite live up to expectations, with the result that a significant proportion of the vehicles were only sold under reserve (50%) or not at all (15%). This auction report analyzes the mood on site and the results, illustrated with photos of all the vehicles on offer.
This article contains the following chapters
- Attractive for spectators

Auctions at trade fairs are popular, and the hammer was also swung at the Swiss Classic World Lucerne on May 25, 2019. Oldtimer Galerie Toffen offered 45 cars and a motorcycle worth almost CHF 4.4 million (almost EUR 4 million). The offer was varied, but the customers were picky. In contrast to auctions, where the cars can only be admired in pictures and beforehand in the exhibition, the vehicles at the Swiss Classic World passed by the spectators on a stage. All the lots managed to do this under their own steam, which certainly increased the confidence of the bidding public in the vehicles. In any case, the interest of the Swiss Classic World spectators was great when the first car (a Volvo P1800 ES from 1973) rolled across the stage shortly after 16:00.
