On May 25, 2013, Bonhams will hold an auction of 56 sporty vehicles at the Spa Classic, some of which are likely to generate a great deal of interest.
Ghia Aigle Alfa Romeo 1900C Super Sprint Coupé from 1959
Just ten Alfa Romeo vehicles were bodied at Ghia Aigle, and the 1900C Super Sprint Coupé on offer in 1959 cost 35,000 Swiss francs, more than a Mercedes Benz 300 SL. The design is attributed to Giovanni Michelotti. The car is described as partially restored and is said to be in very good condition according to the auction house. The estimated price is given as £ 80,000 to £ 110,000.
The last Porsche Carrera RS 3.0 from 1974
Just 109 Porsche Carrera RS 3.0s were built in 1974, half of which were racing RSR versions. The RS 3.0 on offer with chassis number 9114609109 is the last car built and was delivered new in Germany. The car arrived in Switzerland via France. In 1996 it took part in the Tour Auto, but it was obviously also used heavily in normal road traffic, as the 90,323 kilometers prove.
The estimated price is £ 340,000 to £ 420,000, which is probably quite reasonable for such a rare vehicle.
Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 Touring
Equipped with FIVA and FIA HTP, the Carrera RS was delivered as a yellow Touring version in Belgium in May 1973. RS models have become steadily more expensive in recent years, so the estimated price of £ 130,000 to £ 170,000 seems quite realistic.
Factory-restored Lamborghini Miura P400 from 1968
Valentino Balboni himself kept an eye on the restoration of the black Lamborghini Miura from 1968. This Miura was delivered new to Switzerland and only passed through three hands. After 4,000 hours of work, the Miura is as good as new, which is reflected in the estimated price of £ 380,000 to £ 550,000.
Ferrari 330 GTC from 1968
The Ferrari 330 GTC is regarded as an understated yet attractive Gran Turismo. The vehicle offered with chassis number 11327 was originally sprayed in a shade of blue, but was painted in a red métallic color during the extensive restoration in the 1980s. The car has driven in various countries including Italy, USA and Switzerland and is now described as being in good condition and complete. The estimated price of £240,000 to £310,000 is within the usual range for a GTC.
Wide and sporty range
In addition to the vehicles already mentioned, there are a number of other rarely traded offers, including a Lotus Eleven, a De Tomaso Pantera Group 3 or a pre-war Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Sport for auction. Our list shows the entire range.
