Volvo P1800E (1971) - als Lot 112 an der Bonhams Goodwood Revival Versteigerung am 10. September 2016

Ferrari 275 GTB (1965) - als Lot 115 an der Bonhams Goodwood Revival Versteigerung am 10. September 2016

The Bonhams auction as part of the Goodwood Revival has a long tradition and on September 10, 2016, it's that time again. Although high-flyers such as the Mercedes racing car that went under the hammer at a previous event are missing, the range on offer is still impressive.

Ferrari 275 GTB (1965) - as lot 115 at the Bonhams Goodwood Revival auction on September 10, 2016

86 vehicles (including a trailer and military vehicles) worth £ 17 to 22 million are to be sold, with each lot expected to fetch an average of around £ 225,000 (EUR 267,000 or CHF 294,000).

In terms of numbers, the most represented brands are Porsche with 11 vehicles, Jaguar with 10 and Aston Martin with seven.

Aston Martin 2 Litre Speed Model "Red Dragon" (1948) - as lot 130 at the Bonhams Goodwood Revival Auction on September 10, 2016

There are over 40 brands in total, and the range is correspondingly diverse, including a pre-war Peerless, a Nash, a De Sanctis and a Volpini.

Peerless 3.7-Litre Six-80 Taxicab (1927) - as lot 186 at the Bonhams Goodwood Revival auction on September 10, 2016

Four vehicles are offered without a reserve price, for the others the consignor quoted a minimum price. The estimated prices appear high, but not outside the values quoted elsewhere.

The Über-Porsche

Anyone who bought a Porsche 550 RS Spyder in the 1950s intended to drive it in races and, like Hans Herrmann, to smash it under a railroad barrier. Not so chassis 550 0090 from 1956.

Porsche 550/1500 Spyder (1956) - as lot 140 at the Bonhams Goodwood Revival Auction on September 10, 2016

The car was carefully treated and never restored, won an award for unrestored cars at Pebble Beach and is said to look the same today as a new 550 did back then.

Porsche 550/1500 Spyder (1956) - as lot 140 at the Bonhams Goodwood Revival Auction on September 10, 2016

Despite its lack of racing history, the car is now expected to attract bids in the range of EUR 5.6 to 7.4 million or CHF 6.1 to 8.1 million. It will be interesting to see.

Rich selection of rally cars

Triumph TR7 V8 Rally Car (1979) - as lot 133 at the Bonhams Goodwood Revival Auction on September 10, 2016

If you're thinking of taking part in the next Eifel Rallye Festival or driving on gravel roads elsewhere, Bonhams at Goodwood offers a wide selection of rally cars ranging from the Vauxhall Chevette, the Rover SD1the Rover SD1, the Triumph TR7 V8 and the MG Metro 6RE, which, of course, as a Group B bullet, is considerably more expensive than the Group 2 cars of the seventies and early eighties, which are all still available for five figures. The same applies to the Ford RS200 on offer.

MG Metro 6R4 Group B (1985) - as lot 122 at the Bonhams Goodwood Revival auction on September 10, 2016

A Group A Fiat Stilo Abarth from 2004 would be really cheap, but whether this "Future Classic" will ever become a real classic is of course written in the stars.

Super sports car in a multipack

A number of super sports cars in the Bonhams range have already made it into classic car heaven, be it the two Lamborghini Diablo, the Lamborghini Countach or the Ferrari 275 GTB.

Lamborghini Diablo SV (1997) - as lot 134 at the Bonhams Goodwood Revival Auction on September 10, 2016

The Ford GT from 2005 and the Porsche 911 GT3 RS from 2010, which are no longer cheap, also belong in the "Future Classics" category.

One of the most beautiful sports cars in the world

It is well known that it is not easy to shape small cars elegantly.

Lotus Elite Series II Super 95 Coupé (1962) - as lot 109 at the Bonhams Goodwood Revival Auction on September 10, 2016

However, the Lotus Elite from the late fifties has succeeded in this and the 1962 Series II Super 95 Coupé on offer, i.e. a vehicle of the last and very rare specification, appears to have a very elegant appearance at € 77,00 to 89,000 or CHF 85,000 to 98,000 estimate, it looks like an interesting offer that Lotus fans should certainly take a closer look at.

Replicas and originals

The replicas on offer at Bonhams are clearly defined, be it a Frazer-Nash Le Mans replica as a recreation from 1970 or an Invicta S-Type replica based on a saloon. For around a quarter of the price of an original, you can probably buy at least as much driving pleasure.

Frazer-Nash Le Mans Replica (1950) - as lot 170 at the Bonhams Goodwood Revival auction on September 10, 2016

The Frazer-Nash is also interesting because both the recreation and the original, which was also called a replica, are going under the hammer at the same auction.

Exotic brands and vehicles

A Renwick & Bertelli 1½-Litre Sports 'Buzzbox' has probably rarely been heard of. William Somerville Renwick and Augustus 'Gus' Cesare Bertelli were the two men who put their experience into building this certainly innovative design, which also looked pretty.

Renwick & Bertelli 1½-Litre Sports 'Buzzbox' (1925) - as lot 162 at the Bonhams Goodwood Revival auction on September 10, 2016

Considering that this car had a significant influence on the development of Aston Martin, the £ 240,000 to 280,000 (EUR 280,000 to 320,000) estimate actually seems quite reasonable, especially as the car has been completely restored.

Daimler SP250 AHC Retractable Hardtop Coupé (1960) - as lot 123 at the Bonhams Goodwood Revival Auction on September 10, 2016

Anyone who wants to buy the Daimler SP250 with electrically retractable hardtop must also have special taste. The whole thing is certainly not visually convincing, but the forerunner of the modern SLKs and other folding roof convertibles at least wins a prize for technical ingenuity and originality.

Further information and many pictures of the auction can be found on the Bonhams website.
