On the occasion of the Concours d'Elégance Amelia Island in March 2017, the auction house Bonhams is inviting guests to the Fernandina Beach Golf Club on March 9, 2017 to bid on 87 cars with a total value of USD 17.5 million (EUR 16.6 million) over the course of a two-day auction.
Wide range on offer
Of the 87 cars, 13 are from the pre-war period, while 11 were built in the new century. The ever-popular sixties are represented by 22 vehicles.
4 Alfa Romeo, 5 Ferrari, 6 Jaguar, 7 Mercedes-Benz and 12 Porsche make up the largest brand contingents, but there is also a Godsal, an Allard, a Stoddard Dayton and a Mazda Miata (MX-5)!
Aluminum Ferrari in blue
The undisputed star of the Bonhams auction is certainly the magnificent blue Ferrari 250 Europa GT from 1955 with an aluminum coupé body. Estimated at USD 2.3 to 2.6 million, it is the only car with the potential to fetch millions, with the exception of a 1938 Talbot-Lago T150C convertible.
The average values at Bonhams in Amelia Island level off at just over USD 200,000, 61% of the vehicles are even offered without a minimum price.
Valuable turbo BMW
A BMW 2002 turbo from 1973 was estimated at between USD 75,000 and 95,000. This car is likely to be a real rarity in the USA.
It comes with the mirror-inverted turbo sticker and is said to have a mileage of 16,500 kilometers, at least that is what is assumed. This car is also being sold without a minimum price.
The mysterious Godsal
Exactly one example of the Godsal Sports Tourer was built in 1935, with a roadster body from Corsica. At the front was a Ford Flathead V8 engine that delivered around 85 hp to the rear axle via a preselector gearbox.
Despite a promising prototype, nothing ever came of series production; the car remained a one-off and is now said to be worth USD 225,000 to 275,000.
Age gap
From the oldest car, a Knox 16/18 HP "Tudor" 5-passenger Touring from 1904 with just 16 hp, to the Porsche 997 Speedster from 2011, there are 107 years and several hundred hp.
The fact that the oldest (and certainly rarer) Knox is said to cost even less than the six-year-old Porsche is typical of today's world.
Further information and many pictures can be found on the Bonhams website.
