It is a manageable number of cars that Bonhams is auctioning off on October 7, 2016 on the occasion of the Zoute Grand Prix. There are 30 fully-grown vehicles in total, representing a total value of around five million euros or 5.4 million Swiss francs. On average, each car is expected to fetch around EUR 167,000 or CHF 182,000, with ten of the cars - exactly one third - being offered without a reserve price.

Porsche dominates

Over a third of the cars come from the manufacturer Porsche.

Porsche 356 'Pre-A' 1600 Speedster (1955) - as lot 28 at the Bonhams Zoute auction on October 7, 2016

From the early Porsche 356 Pre-A Speedster from 1955, apparently the only one delivered new to Belgium, to the brand-new 991 R from 2016, almost the entire Porsche range is available to buy.

The ex-Derek Bell 928 Club Sport from 1987 and the 924 Carrera GT from 1981 are certainly special, as are the 968 Club Sport from 1992 and the later 930 Turbo as a Targa with five-speed gearbox.

The estimated prices are at a confident level across the board.

Rare Apal-Porsche

One of the rarities for special tastes is certainly the beautiful plastic coupé that was built by Apal in Belgium at the beginning of the 1960s.

APAL-Porsche 1600GT Coupé (1963) - as lot 24 at the Bonhams Zoute auction on October 7, 2016

The 1963 Apal-Porsche 1600 GT on offer had only two owners for over 50 years and is one of around 30 coupés with Porsche engines delivered by the small sports car manufacturer. At EUR 55,000 to 80,000 (CHF 60,000 to 87,000), the Apal may not be a bargain, but it is certainly a very interesting car.

Just a pre-war car

Only one car built before the Second World War made it onto the Zoute lot list.

AC 16/80hp 'Short Chassis' Competition Sports (1937) - as lot 33 at the Bonhams Zoute auction on October 7, 2016

The 1937 AC 16/80hp 'Short Chassis' Competition Sports is certainly worth a second look, however, as it is one of 40 such models built and is described as being in excellent condition. Visually, the car looks very harmonious, but it was also estimated at a correspondingly high EUR 240,000 to 300,000 (CHF 260,000 to 330,000).

Italian sports car rarities away from Ferrari

Although there is also a Ferrari up for auction (575 M), it is the rare coupés from Maserati and Lamborghini that are perhaps of greater interest. A Lamborghini 350 GT from 1966 (EUR 600,000 to 800,000) and three Maserati coupés from the sixties and seventies (3500 GTI, Sebring, Merak) will go under the hammer.

Not to be forgotten are the pretty 1955 Swallow Doretti (EUR 50,000 to 70,000), the 1964 Citroën DS 19 Cabriolet (EUR 135,000 to 175'000) and the pretty little Autobianchi Bianchina Panoramica station wagon from 1966 (EUR 15,000 to 30,000), but each of the 30 cars is actually worth a close inspection.
