As every year,Coys will be holding an auction as part of the AVD Oldtimer Grand Prix on August 10, 2013. The lot list, which features over 60 cars , also includes some real rarities.
For example, Michael Schumacher's Benetton B191 was on the lot list, but the car was sold in advance for € 225,000. However, two unique racing sports cars will go under the hammer, namely a BMW/AFM 328 Roadster and a Lancia Aprilia Spider.
BMW/AFM 328 Roadster
The BMW/AFM 328 Roadster was built by Alex von Falkenhausen. Two of these vehicles were used on the Nürburgring in 1953, one by Günther Bechem and the other by Hans Stuck. They competed against the greats of the time, which is particularly surprising because the car was already 15 years old due to its design, as the BMW 328, which provided the basis for the racing car, was that old.
The estimated price is set at € 350,000 to € 380,000, which could well be realistic.
Lancia Aprilia Spider
In the 1980s, Signor Riva had his own coachbuilder produce a Spider based on original factory drawings on the chassis of a Lancia Aprilia from 1946 that was standing around. With an estimated price of € 105,000 to € 120,000, it is reasonably priced when you consider the effort and manual work involved.
Many rarities
The lot list also includes many other rarities, such as a Moretti 750 Spider Bialbero Michelotti, an Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 S Pinin Farina Cabriolet from 1946, an Alfa Romeo Alfasud TI with a Monte Carlo Rally past or a McLaren M6 GT from 1968.
