Traditionally, the auction year starts in the US state of Arizona. As every year, Gooding & Company will be offering classic and collector's items in Scottsdale on January 17 and 18, 2014.
Wide price range
The 117 vehicles on offer represent a combined value of almost USD 50 million (EUR 35 million or CHF 43 million). On average, the hammer is expected to fall at USD 414,000 (EUR 302,000 or CHF 368,000).
The most expensive car, a 1997 McLaren F1 GTR Longtail, was estimated at USD 5 to 7 million. At the other end of the price spectrum, you can find an MG A or an MG TF for less than USD 50,000.
Bargains are possible, as 61% of the offers are auctioned without a reserve price.
Ferrari round dance
Gooding is offering a total of 15 Ferrari sports cars, including the three Dino 246s, which are said to be worth between USD 250,000 and USD 475,000. They are all road cars. The Ferrari 410 Superamerica from 1956, which was valued at around USD 2.5 million, is sure to attract particular attention.
Fans of newer Ferrari models will be keen to see how the 288 GTO fares, with an estimated price of an impressive USD 1.25 to 1.6 million.
The Ferrari 212 Inter Coupé from 1952, which Gooding hopes to acquire for around USD 2 million, is also rare.
The Franay-Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport
Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport cars do not appear at auction all too often, and even more rarely are vehicles with Franay bodies, as the French coachbuilder was only responsible for three examples, two of which were coupés. USD 1.5 to 2.2 million is expected for the 1949 coupé with chassis number 110123.
Valuable factory Alpine A110
Alpine-Renault built just 13 A110 works cars in the 1800 Group 4 specification. The car on offer was driven by Jean-Pierre Nicolas, among others, in the 1973 season and has a 1.86-liter Mignotet engine with 175 hp in the rear. USD 300,000 to 400,000 is expected for the competition car.
One-off Ghia-Alfa Romeo 1900 C SS
In 1954,Ghia built a special coupé body on the chassis of the Alfa Romeo 1900 C SS. The car was shown at the Los Angeles Motor Show of the same year. Extensively restored, the car is expected to sell for between USD 600,000 and 850,000.
Rarities MG Arnolt Cabriolet, Hudson Italia and Cunningham C-3
Of the 36 MG Arnolt Cabriolets built by Bertone in the 1950s, only 13 are believed to have survived. An example restored in the 1980s is now said to cost USD 130,000 to 150,000.
The Hudson Italia, which was built by Touring Superleggera, was estimated to be significantly more expensive. At the time, 25 examples were produced according to the design ideas of Frank Spring; the white 1954 coupé with 26,000 miles on the clock is now said to be worth around half a million USD.
The coachbuilder Vignale produced even fewer vehicles for Cunningham. A total of 23 C-3 versions are said to have been produced, 19 of which were sold as coupés. The estimated price for this rarity was set at USD 450,000 to 550,000.
In addition to the rarities, the Scottsdale 2014 lot list naturally also includes the usual suspects such as the Mercedes Benz 300 SL, Jaguar E-Type, Porsche 356 and Porsche 911 in E, L and S versions. And fans of American cars will also get their money's worth thanks to a Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda, Chevrolet Corvette or Cadillac Series 60 Special, among many others.
