On January 18, 2017, Bonhams will auction around 80 to 100 vehicles in Scottsdale. The undisputed highlight will be a Porsche 550A Spyder from 1958, which finished 5th at Le Mans and on the podium at the 1000 km Nürburgring in 1958.
Chassis 0145 was a works car that took part in four World Championship races and was probably the only 550A ever to take part in a Grand Prix.
Only 40 550A were built, the car offered by Bonhams is certainly the most famous of all.
It is said to be in largely original condition and is one of the most important vehicles of its type.
Bonhams does not give an estimated price, but it can be assumed that at least a high seven-figure sum is expected.
Among the cars already registered is the first Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster to be sold in the USA. They are joined by a superbly restored Lancia 037 Rally from 1982, a Bentley Speed from 1930 and a Dino 246 GTS from 1974, as well as an extremely original, first-hand Volvo P 1800 from 1969.
Further vehicles will be announced continuously by Bonhams on their website.
