It is a small and fine selection that Bonhams will be auctioning on October 6, 2017 on the occasion of the Zoute Grand Prix in Knokke-Heist in Belgium.

Although the festive setting is limited to 32 cars (and some automobilia, including a letter from Enzo Ferrari, a menu card with sketches by Sergio Pininfarina and a Jaguar E-Type workshop manual), there should be an enticing vehicle for some car enthusiasts.

In total, the cars represent a value of around EUR 5.7 million (CHF 6.5 million), so an average of around EUR 177,000 (CHF 204,000) is expected per vehicle.

Mainly fifties to seventies

Two thirds of the vehicles on offer date from 1955 to 1976, covering just two decades.

Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet (1955) - as lot 022 at the Zoute auction by Bonhams on October 6, 2017

For example, there is an early VW Beetle Cabriolet from 1955, an Abarth 750 Allemano Spyder or the auction's main attraction, a Ferrari 365 GTC from 1968.

A late Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona from 1973 and an Alfa Romeo Montreal from 1973 also come under the hammer, as well as a Porsche 911 E 2.2 Targa from 1971 and an early Porsche 911/930 Turbo from 1976.

Ten young and newtimers

The latest ten cars in the auction come from a completely different era, as none of them have yet reached classic car age. The oldest of this group is a BMW Z1 from 1989, while at the other end is a Mercedes-Maybach G-Model from 2017.

It is interesting that a BMW 1 M Coupé from 2011, one of these fast vehicles produced for just over a year, is already being offered at auction, with less than 2000 km on the clock and a complete service history in the book.

At EUR 40,000 to 60,000, the car would be around the same price as new.

Number 31 of 275

The 1993 Jaguar XJ 220 on offer also has a low mileage. It is said to have run just 8000 km and is now worth EUR 350,000 to 450,000.

Even today, the car impresses with its futuristic styling and the second wind caused by its turbo equipment.

A charming rally with Swiss history

You simply have to love the little Rally ABC Sports from 1928 that Bonhams is allowed to sell. The cycle car with Ruby engine belonged to Swiss collector Hans Bodmer in the 1980s before it became part of the Langenburg Automuseum collection.

A few years ago, a private collector from the Netherlands bought the car, which is certainly a lot of fun to drive. For EUR 80,000 to 120,000, you're in.

Morgan Plus 4 Two-Seater Competition Roadster (1966) - as lot 048 at the Zoute auction by Bonhams on October 6, 2017

A similarly archaic, but somewhat cheaper (EUR 50,000 to 70,000), joyride in the 1966 Morgan Plus 4 Competition Roadster, which is also on offer. Chassis 6135 is one of the 42 competition models built with a 2.2-liter Triumph TR4 engine. As a left-hand drive car, it is one of only nine such vehicles built. Completely restored, it is now to find a new owner after 24 years in the same hands.

Further information and pictures of the individual vehicles can be found on the Bonhams website.
