For the first time, Bonhams will be holding an auction on the occasion of the Zoute Grand Prix Rally and Concours d'Elégance in the fashionable town of Knokke-Le-Zoute in Belgium. The focus of the event on October 11, 2013 will be on European vehicles.
Some early consignments are already known. For example, a Porsche 356 B 1600 Roadster from 1962 is being offered with an estimated price of 110,000 to 140,000 euros. A Porsche 911 S 2.4 Targa from 1972 is also expected to go under the hammer for between 90,000 and 120,000 euros.
A Ferrari 212/250 with bodywork by Pininfarina from 1954 is expected to fetch between 600,000 and 900,000 euros, while a Maserati A6G/54 with Allemano bodywork has been estimated at between 450,000 and 650,000 euros.
A Maserati Bora, once designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, is less expensive, with an estimated value of 100,000 to 130,000 euros, which is probably at the upper end of the prices currently being paid for the mid-engined sports car.
Also on offer are a number of Mercedes vehicles, including a Ponton 220S Cabriolet (Euro 85,000 to 105,000) and a 230 SL (Euro 65,000 to 95,000) as well as a 190 SL (Euro 75,000 to 95,000).
Bonhams is still accepting registrations, but the deadline is September 13, 2013.
