Once again, Bonhams will not only open the 2019 auction year on January 17, 2019, but also the series of major international auctions in Scottsdale. 120 interesting cars are on offer. They represent a value of around USD 40.7 million. Almost USD 354,000 is expected per car.

Porsche 356B 1600 (1962) - offered as lot 010 at the Bonhams Scottsdale auction on January 17, 2019

Willingness to take risks

An impressive 96 cars, i.e. 83 percent of the offer, are offered without a minimum price. These are not only specially priced classics, but also cars such as a Mercedes 500K or a Porsche 911 S 2.4.

Porsche before Mercedes

The offer is certainly European in character. Porsche has the largest contingent with 19 cars, followed by Mercedes-Benz with 16, Jaguar and Ferrari with 8 cars each. A total of 45 brands are represented, many of them with only one vehicle.

Porsche 911 Carrera Speedster (1989) - offered as lot 008 at the Bonhams Scottsdale auction on January 17, 2019

The average age is 51 years.

Stevens-Duryea Model DD Tourer (1914) - offered as lot 038 at the Bonhams Scottsdale auction on January 17, 2019

The oldest car is a Stevens-Duryea Model DD Tourer from 1914, the newest a Bugatti Chiron (USD 2.8 to 3.3 million). A total of 17 cars have not yet reached youngtimer age.

Rare Maserati A6G/2000 Spider from Frua

It is no coincidence that the Maserati A6G/2000 Spider from 1951, with bodywork by Pietro Frua, adorns the catalog cover. Only three such convertibles were built in the 1950s and they are welcome guests at beauty contests around the world. Chassis 2017 was shown in Pebble Beach, Villa d'Este and at the Quail Concours, among others.

Maserati A6G/2000 Spider (1951) - offered as lot 054 at the Bonhams Scottsdale auction on January 17, 2019

The next owner is expected to spend USD 2.8 to 3.4 million on the elegant Maserati.

Concours and race-winning Ferrari 500 Mondial

The Ferrari 500 Mondial Series 1 Spider with chassis number 0438 MD was built in 1954.

Ferrari 500 Mondial Series I Spider (1954) - offered as lot 044 at the Bonhams Scottsdale auction on January 17, 2019

Driven by Phil Hill and Richie Ginther, among others, during its active period, the open sports car also won a category victory at Pebble Beach.

Bonhams does not officially state an estimated value, but one can assume high seven-figure sums if that is enough.

Green Porsche 904

The Porsche 904 with chassis number 904 012 was built in 1964. As with the other plastic sports cars in this series, the car was fitted with a four-cylinder Carrera engine. However, this was later removed, but is said to still exist. It was replaced by a two-liter six-cylinder boxer engine like the last factory 904. 904 012 was used in racing in the USA and is said to have survived its active career largely unscathed.

Porsche 904 GTS (1964) - offered as lot 030 at the Bonhams Scottsdale auction on January 17, 2019

Now priced at USD 1.4 to 1.6 million, this is certainly not a modest price for a 904.

Many super classics

Of course, Bonhams in Scottsdale can offer a considerable number of super classics.

Lamborghini Miura SV (1971) - offered as lot 066 at the Bonhams Scottsdale auction on January 17, 2019

The Lamborghini Miura SV from 1971 will certainly generate a lot of interest. Chassis 4976 covered just 18,300 miles in its lifetime. The engine was replaced in the very first year. Although the mid-engined sports car no longer shines in its original silver, the Blue Notte looks pretty good on it too. The estimated value is USD 1.7 to 2.1 million.

Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing Coupe (1955) - offered as lot 036 at the Bonhams Scottsdale auction on January 17, 2019

The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL from 1955 with chassis number 198.040.5500548 is expected to be somewhat cheaper. The silver gullwing is offered for USD 1.15 to 1.35 million.

Maserati Ghibli SS Coupe (1972) - offered as lot 035 at the Bonhams Scottsdale auction on January 17, 2019

The Maserati Ghibli SS from 1972 is an even more affordable super classic. Chassis AM115/49-2126 is expected to cost USD 260,000 to 300,000, complete with original interior and matching numbers.

Exotic cars from all over the world

Everyone knows a 300 SL or a Maserati Ghibli, but who knows the Sabra GT? Only 379 were built, 171 of them in Haifa (Israel). A surprisingly high number of 81 were exported to Belgium, one of which is chassis GT4819.
