It will be a very special auction, the Bonhams event on September 26, 2015 in Denmark. Rarities and unique pieces that you can't buy every day will go under the hammer.

48 cars from the Frederiksen collection are on offer in Ebeltoft, Denmark. The total value was estimated at around 25.5 million euros (CHF 27.7 million), which means an average of 530,000 euros or CHF 576,000 per car.

Rolls-Royce dominates

The dominant brand is Rolls-Royce, with 13 vehicles being auctioned. With one exception, they date from the pre-war period and mostly have important and well-known previous owners.

The piece de résistence could be the Phantom VI as a convertible by Pietro Frua, a unique piece that surprises with almost bizarre shapes and is said to be worth 270,000 to 350,000 euros.

Mainly pre-war vehicles

The auction will mainly feature pre-war vehicles produced by some of the world's most important car manufacturers, including Rolls-Royce, but also Bentley, Mercedes-Benz, Lagonda and Maybach. Many of the vehicles have already won prizes at Pebble Beach and Villa d'Este.

The most valuable car is a Maybach DS-8 Zeppelin Cabriolet from 1933, which is expected to fetch around €3 million and will go under the hammer at the end of the auction.

Twice a Citroën

Interestingly, there are also two post-war Citroën cars in the Frederiksen collection. These are a DS 23 Pallas from 1974 and an SM Coupé from 1973. Mr. Frederisken simply had very eclectic tastes.
