These are not the usual vehicles that Bonhams will be auctioning on November 4, 2016. They are all cars that could, in principle, take part in the famous and long-standing car race from London to Brighton, almost half of which have even been there.

14 chances

Bonhams is auctioning 14 vehicles with vintages from 1897 to 1904. The total value has been estimated at £1.65 million (€1.81 million or CHF 1.98 million), which means that each vehicle is expected to fetch around £118,000 (€130,000 or CHF 141,000).

It has also been more expensive to buy a potential participant vehicle for the famous race from Britain's capital to the coast.

Petrol or steam

As expected, the majority of the offerings have a petrol engine with manageable power, but there is also a steam car among the lots, namely the Hart Steam Victora from around 1897.

Traveling with steam is a very special experience.

From rudimentary to comfortable

With the cars provided, Bonhams offers a wide range of technology and comfort. Anyone wishing to invest should take a closer look at the descriptions of the individual cars, which are now over 110 years old, as starting and operating such a mobile cultural asset can certainly be more demanding.
