For the second time, Bonhams will be holding an auction on the occasion of the Zoute Grand Prix on October 10, 2014. 37 vehicles are listed, with a total value of around EUR 5.3 million or CHF 6.3 million. On average, each vehicle sold is expected to fetch around 142,000 euros or CHF 171,000. So you don't need to be a millionaire to get your hands on an attractive collector's vehicle in Knokke-Heist, a town on the Belgian North Sea coast.

Ferrari F40 flagship from Nigel Mansell

One of the highlights is Nigel Mansell's Ferrari F40, which he received new from the factory in 1989.
An estimated price of € 600,000 to € 800,000 (CHF 720,000 to CHF 960,000) has been set, which roughly corresponds to the last prices for which F40s changed hands at auction.

Swimming and fun cars

A special selection is available for those who are not enthusiastic about conventional convertibles, coupés or limousines, but are looking for something special. An Amphicar 770 from 1964 could be just the thing. As one of around 4,000 Schwimmautos produced, it certainly has an exceptional status. Once described as the fastest car on the water and the fastest boat on the road, this amphibious vehicle is expected to fetch between 40,000 and 60,000 euros (CHF 48,000 and 72,000).

For those who prefer to romp around in light terrain or on the beach, the Morris Mini Moke from 1968 (Euro 20,000 to 25,000, CHF 24'000 to 30,000) or the Citroën Méhari from 1979 (Euro 14,000 to 18,000, CHF 17,000 to 22,000) could be just the thing.

A special Lancia Aurelia B24S

Gaston de Gerlache de Gomery was the son of Adrian de Gerlache, a great Antarctic explorer. Like his father, Gaston was also an explorer and after an expedition to the Antarctic he bought himself a Lancia Aurelia B24S with a hardtop, which is said to have been made by the Belgian coachbuilder D'Ieteren. The Auerlia can now be rediscovered at an estimated price of 350,000 to 400,000 euros (CHF 420,000 to 480,000).

Jaguar FT Coupé - Body by Bertone (1966) - large windows (offered at the Bonhams auction by Zoute 2014)

Even rarer is the Jaguar FT Coupé from 1966, which Bertone once built for the Italian Jaguar importer. Only two examples were ever built, so Euro 60,000 to 80,000 (CHF 72,000 to 97,000) would appear to be a very moderate estimate.

Left-hand drive DB4

Aston Martin fans will be able to purchase one of the most beautiful sports cars from the David Brown era, a left-hand drive DB4 from the third series, in the auction at the Zoute Grand Prix 2014 (from October 9 to 12, 2014).The car was delivered new to an owner in Geneva and then driven by two other Swiss drivers before it ended up in German hands.

The DB 4 has now been estimated at Euro 550,000 to 650,000 or CHF 660,000 to 780,000 and will go under the hammer with Swiss papers.

And if you've always wanted a table with an inlaid Ferrari 360 wreck, you too can find it in Knokke-Heist.
