If you are thinking about a classic car as a Christmas present and would like to buy one at an auction, the Bonhams auction in London Olympia on December 7, 2016 will probably be one of the last opportunities to buy an interesting classic car from a wide range on offer. A total of 82 cars, many automobiles, spare parts and some motorcycles will go under the hammer.

From the island for the island

The fact that you are in Great Britain at this auction can already be seen from the lot list.

Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III Drophead Coupé (1966) - as lot 334 at the Bonhams auction in London Olympia on December 7, 2016

Around half of the vehicles come from the island, with Jaguar (8 vehicles), Aston Martin (7) and Bentley (6) representing a quarter of the cars on offer. Only Mercedes-Benz can "drive" the top 4 with 7 vehicles.

A broad mix

With no less than ten pre-war vehicles and 14 youngtimers/neoclassics, the selection is very broad.

Ford Model T Tourer Project (1921) - as lot 382 at the Bonhams auction in London Olympia on December 7, 2016

The two oldest cars, a Ford 16 HP Model F from 1905 and a Daimler 30/40 HP Tourer from the same year, are offered for £ 25,000 to £ 30,000 and £ 55'000 to 65,000 respectively, while the youngest is a 2009 Aston Martin DB9 Volante Convertible, estimated at £50,000 to 60,000.

The elegance of small British manufacturers

If you are looking for classic British cars that impress with their elegance and sportiness, Bonhams is the right place for you on December 7. For example, there is an Alvis TD21 Drophead Coupé from 1962 or an Aston Martin DB6 with Vantage specification from 1967 (the most expensive car on offer at £ 320,000 to £ 350,000).

Alvis TD21 Drophead Coupé (1962) - as lot 341 at the Bonhams auction in London Olympia on December 7, 2016

Or how about an Aston Martin Lagonda Rapide 4.2 from 1963, you could hardly drive faster in a limousine back then and the prices are still significantly higher than a comparable DB4, which provided the basis.

Aston Martin Lagonda Rapide (1963) - as lot 327 at the Bonhams auction in London Olympia on December 7, 2016

The Lotus Elite 1.5 Liter Coupé from 1962, which was moderately priced at £ 60,000 to £ 80,000, might also be worth a second look.

Also worth mentioning is one of the rare Swallow Doretti. The 1955 model is said to be worth £ 60,000 to £ 70,000.

Italian exotics

The Siata brand is hardly known to many people anymore, and the remaining sports cars are rare and sought-after. This explains why the small Siata Daina Grand Sport from 1952 was valued at £ 250,000 to £ 350,000.

The coachbuilder Boneschi transformed a Fiat 1100 into a convertible in 1947. Now it is expected to cost £40,000 to £60,000, not much for a potential concours participant.

Multipla models based on the Fiat 600 have also become rare. Bonhams is offering one from 1961 for £ 25,000 to £ 30,000.

And then there is also an Iso A3/C Competition Coupé as a 1964 Recreation, estimated at £ 220,000 to £ 260,000.

Dino more expensive than Berlinetta Boxer

Enzo Ferrari could hardly have dreamed that his actually spurned six-cylinder would one day outstrip his proud twelve-cylinder.

Dino 246 GT Coupé (1971) - as lot 329 at the Bonhams auction in London Olympia on December 7, 2016

But this is exactly what seems to be happening. In any case, Bonhams has estimated the white and right-hand drive Dino at £ 300,000 to £ 350,000, but the silver, also right-hand drive 512 BBi from 1983 for £ 280,000 to £ 340,000.

It will be interesting to see if the bidders see it the same way.

An E-Type selection too, of course

Of course, the hammer cannot be swung in London without a selection of E-Types being offered to the man or woman.

Jaguar E-Type 'Series 1' (1966) - as lot 352 at the Bonhams auction in London Olympia on December 7, 2016

Bonhams has two Series 1 and two Series III V12 examples to offer, the former as a coupé, the latter as a roadster. The estimated prices range from £ 45,000 to £ 120,000

And also more modern models

The left-hand drive Lancia Delta HF Integrale 'Evoluzione 1' from 1992 with just 11'459 km on the clock, estimated at £ 50'000 to 60'000 (€ 58'000 to 70'000, CHF 63'000 to 75'000).

And the BMW Z1, of which Bonhams can present a red example from 1989 with 17,127 km on the clock, has also produced good results recently. £ 40'000 to 50'000 (EUR 47'000 to 58'000, CHF 50'000 to 63'000) were set for it.
