On March 8, 2018, Bonhams invites you to the Fernandina Beach Golf Club in Florida to auction 104 cars with a total value of approximately USD 22 million (EUR 17.8 million, CHF 20.6 million) at the Amelia Island Concours. An average of USD 211,611 (EUR 171,274, CHF 198,404) per car is therefore expected.
However, it could also be significantly cheaper if prices were to scatter downwards, which would be possible with 52 percent of cars to be knocked down without a minimum price.
Only Porsche strongly represented
With 47 brands, there is an average of only two cars per manufacturer, although Porsche is already represented with 16 cars, Ferrari, Jaguar, Dodge and Chevrolet with six each.
Accordingly, there are many car brands with only one vehicle, e.g. American Underslung, Facel Vega, Hudson or Georges Irat.
Almost 1/4 pre-war ...
23 cars date from the years up to 1942, a proportion of over a fifth. Among them is the oldest car in the auction, a Panhard Et Levassor 6HP Twin Cylinder Wagonette from 1899, 119 years old and estimated at USD 250,000 to 350,000.
The most expensive of all, however, is a Minerva Model AK "SilentLyte" Town Car from 1928, with USD 750,000 to 850,000 expected for the Belgian classic.
A Horch 853 Roadster from 1936 has a similar valuation (USD 700,000 to 900,000).
... but also 21 youngsters
At least 90 years younger than the oldest car are the 21 youngtimers and neoclassics that Bonhams wants to sell in Florida. These include some of the Porsche 911 variants, but also the BMW Z8 from 2001, which is almost standard inventory (USD 200,000 to 225,000).
You will also come across a McLaren P1 at almost every auction. The 2015 example on offer is expected to fetch USD 1.8 to 2 million.
Ferrari Daytona Spider is the most expensive
However, this does not make the P1 the most valuable car at the auction. According to the experts at Bonhams, this honor will go to the red Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spider from 1973.
USD 2.4 to 2.7 million is the estimate in the catalog, two weeks ago you would have had to pay a fifth for a well-made conversion.
The three Lincoln Zephyrs
An unusual feature of the Bonhams auction is the gathering of three Lincoln Zephyr Coupés built between 1939 and 1942. The aerodynamically shaped twelve-cylinder tourers were estimated at between USD 150,000 and 225,000.
It remains to be seen whether it pays off to offer three of these cars together, especially as there is no minimum price here.
Lotus quintet
It is also rare for five Lotus vehicles to come under the hammer at an American auction. The 1954 Mk6 in particular is a real rarity and therefore appears to have a favorable estimate of USD 50,000 to 70,000.
Equipped with an MG TA engine and a three-speed gearbox, the club racer with aluminum bodywork was restored many years ago, but Bonhams recommends a careful inspection of the mechanics for racing.
The vipers are on the loose
Anyone who has ever planned to build up a Dodge Viper collection could obtain almost the entire arsenal from Bonhams.
Five versions of the famous American sports car are available to buy, from the 1993 RT/10 (USD 20,000 to 30,000), the 1996 GTS (USD 35'000 to 50,000), the GTS-R from 1998 (USD 30,000 to 40,000), the SRT-10 from 2006 (USD 35,000 to 45,000) and the almost modern TA 2.0 from 2015 (USD 70,000 to 90,000).
Ferrari killer Kellison J-4R Coupé
Even more exotic than the Viper is the J-4R Coupé from Kellison. With an almost 500 hp Chevy small block and four disc brakes, this sports car from 1959 may no longer be completely original, but it certainly has what it takes to drive many a Ferrari from the era into the wall.
USD 35,000 to 55,000 seems to be good value for this fun car, even if the body is made of plastic, as always with Kellison.
Super classics too, of course
There are at least three Jaguar E-Types up for auction at Bonhams.
They are all roadster versions, two of them from Series 1 and one from Series III. The estimated values range from USD 75,000 to 250,000.
Four 356-series Porsches, including a rare 356A Carrera GS from 1959 (USD 650,000 to 750,000) and a 356A 1600 Speedster from 1957 (USD 450,000 to 550,000), are just as much in demand as new 911 variants and a Porsche 928 S.
The 1967 Aston Martin DB6, which is on the lot list for USD 250,000 to 300,000, is certainly one of the super classics.
Further information and many pictures can be found on the Bonhams website.
