Bonhams is putting 108 cars and a motorcycle under the hammer at Fernandina Beach Golf Club on Amelia Island on March 7, 2019. The total value of the vehicles was estimated at almost USD 24 million, so USD 218,037 or EUR 191,872 is expected per lot. However, two thirds of the lots will be offered without a reserve price.
Mature offer
With an average age of over 72 years, Bonhams can boast an offer that includes significantly more pre-war vehicles (almost half) than can be seen among the competition.
At the same time, the proportion of youngtimers and neoclassicals, at 14 percent, is significantly lower than at Gooding or RM/Sotheby's, for example.
Large proportion of brass
Over a quarter of the items on offer are from the brass era and have a strong American influence. Here you will also find an early electric car, a Pope-Waverley Model 27 Electric Stanhope from around 1904, which is looking for a new garage for USD 50,000 to 70,000.
One of the most expensive cars from this era is a Mercer Type 35J "Raceabout" from 1913, which is expected to fetch USD 800,000 to 1 million.
Brand diversity
Bonhams offers a total of 66 brands. With the exception of Porsche, none of them have a double-digit number of vehicles; Porsche has 11.
On the other hand, there are many exotic cars that are rarely seen, such as a BSA, an Amilcar, a Crow-Elkhart, a Haynes-Apperson, a Knox, a Kurtis, a Matheson, a Meyers Manx, a Pope-Hartford or a Rambler.
A Cadillac as the most valuable car
The most highly valued car is called the Cadillac Series 452 V-16 Roadster, dates from 1930 and has a V-16 engine under the hood. The body comes from Fleetwood and the estimate is USD 1.25 to 1.5 million.
Significantly cheaper but at the same time particularly pretty is a 1923 Amilcar CGS, estimated at USD 80,000 to 95,000, while the rare 1939 BSA Scout Two Seater Sports is expected to cost USD 20,000 to 25,000.
The sporty Curtis
The Kurtis 500 KK SR-100 from 1954 is attractive and certainly successful in terms of design. Some also call it a Byers because of the origin of the bodywork. The sports car with chassis number MKK55, DeSoto Hemi V8 and four-speed gearbox is offered for USD 200,000 to 250,000.
Of course, the Kurtis is not the only sporty car, there is also a pretty Cooper-Climax T39 from 1956, for example, which is expected to fetch between USD 190,000 and 230,000.
And the Brabham BT26/26A from 1968/69, once driven by Jacky Icks and Jochen Rindt, is estimated to be the most expensive racing car. During its active career, the monoposto raced with and without a large wing and won the Canadian GP in 1969.
He has been in the front row an impressive nine times and is now expected to earn USD 1.1 to 1.4 million.
Two Skylines
Bonhams is bringing two Nissan Skylines to Amelia Island.
The more expensive of the two dates from 1969 and is called the Skyline 2000 GT-R. USD 150,000 to 200,000 is expected here.
The Skyline R32 GT-R from 1989, which is twenty years younger, is considerably cheaper, with an asking price of USD 50,000 to 60,000.
It also works with less money
If you don't want to spend six- and seven-figure sums, Bonhams still has a wide range on offer.
A VW 181 from 1974 is available for USD 18,000 to 24,000, a Jaguar XJS Convertible from 1995 for USD 30,000 to 40,000.
For 8000 to 12'000 Dolllar you can buy a Buick Electra 2255 Series 4800 from 1962, for USD 70'000 to 90'000 there is an amazingly expensive Volvo P1800S from 1963.
Like many cars, it will be auctioned without a reserve price. This will quickly show whether it can meet expectations.
A small insider tip is probably the Mayers Manx Dune Buggy from 1966, which was valued at USD 25,000 to 35,000. Similar vehicles have also achieved significantly higher prices in the past.
More information and many pictures are of course available on the Bonhams website.
