For the second time, Bonhams is organizing an auction on the occasion of the Chanilly Concours d'Elégance, which will take place on 3 September 2016. As last time, a manageable but extremely varied selection of cars will go under the hammer.
The total value of the 29 vehicles is around EUR 12.8 million (CHF 13.9 million), with each vehicle expected to fetch an average of around EUR 456,000 or CHF 495,000.
Elegant Horch automobiles
Pre-war Horch automobiles rarely appear at auction, and it is even rarer for four of these valuable and elegant vehicles to be auctioned. All four cars have been completely restored.
In addition to three open vehicles, the streamlined coupé from 1937 is particularly impressive due to its sheer elegance.
Interesting DB Panhard
They are quite rare and were a benchmark in racing at the time, the DB Panhard HRB 5 Coupés. The 1958 vehicle on offer was once delivered new to Caracas before finding its way back to Italy a decade later. It took part in the Mille Miglia in 1991.
Largely in its original condition, the car needs some attention, but at € 55,000 to € 65,000 it was also moderately priced, especially as this DB could also be entered in the Tour Auto or the Le Mans Classic.
Rare British Salmson
The British Salmson 20/29 HP 2.6 Litre Roadster from 1938 is a classic pre-war Brit. The car with chassis 110 was on display at the 1938 London Motor Show, where it was offered at £ 650, almost twice as expensive as an SS 100 (£ 350).
The car is described as a particularly good driver's car, with independent front suspension and hydraulic brakes, it was also relatively modern. Estimates range from € 130,000 to € 180,000, which seems quite realistic in view of the complete restoration.
Beautiful Zagato Osca
Only 128 Osca 1600 GTs were built, chassis number 011 is probably the car most used in racing.
Countless road races were contested with it in 1964 and 1965 and now the fully restored 1964 1600 GT is expected to fetch € 280,000 to € 330,000.
The spectrum of vehicles on offer is wide, ranging from the compact Ferves Ranger 4x4 from 1969 to the Range Rover, from the Mercedes-Benz 500 K, which was shown at the 1935 Berlin Motor Show (estimated price € 5 to 7 million!) to the Renault 5 Turbo 2. There is even an almost-new car, the McLaren 650 S "Chantilly Edition" from 2014 (how fitting!). And again a BMW Z1.
Further information and many pictures of the auction can be found on the Bonhams website.
