Rarely before has such a wide range of top-class classic cars been offered in Switzerland. On June 7, 2014, the Oldtimer Gallery will swing the hammer over 63 vehicles worth almost eight million Swiss francs (6.6 million euros). On average, each lot is expected to fetch around CHF 120,000 or EUR 100,000.
Mille Miglia lot holder Alfa Romeo 1900 C Sprint
Straight back from this year's Mille Miglia, a 1952 Alfa Romeo 1900 C Sprint with a Touring Superleggera body comes to the Dolder. The car has been completely restored and is beautifully painted in dark red. An estimated price is only available on request.
Red Mercedes Benz 300 SL
More than 20 years ago, Daniel Müller, Herbert Mülller's son, was given a 300 SL instead of a driver's salary for a race, and he has guarded it like the apple of his eye ever since. He is the third generation to drive a 300 SL, as his grandfather and father both drove a silver gullwing. Müller Junior's car was delivered to Caracas in 1955 and is now in largely original condition, with the focus on drivability rather than concours appearance. The video shows what the car can do:
The Oldtimer Galerie does not give an estimated price for this car, but interested parties can certainly prepare themselves for a high six-figure sum, if that's enough.
Particularly rare Aston Martin Lagonda Rapide from 1963
David Brown drove one himself, but the car was not a success. An extended Aston Martin DB4 provided the basis for the sporty Lagonda Rapide limousine. The example on offer is one of only six cars with left-hand drive and manual transmission, most of which were sold with the standard automatic. Here too, the estimated price is only given on request.
One of 281 Bristol 403
They were top aerodynamic products and benefited from BMW's engine know-how, the Bristol sports coupés with the BMW 328 in-line six-cylinder engine. They are extremely rare in this country and if a doctor had not left the car at a garage in Switzerland in the 1960s, the 403 on offer would probably have ended up back in England. It will now go under the hammer at the Dolder for an estimated CHF 70,000 to 75,000 (Euro 58,500 to 62,500).
Elegant Triumph Italia 2000 GT
Only 327 examples of the Italia 2000 GT, based on the Triumph TR3, were built. On offer at the Dolder is a black vehicle from 1961 that has been extensively restored regardless of the cost. The estimated price is correspondingly high at CHF 140,000 to 150,000 (116,500 to 125,000 euros).
Sporty Fiat Balilla 508 CS Coppa d'Oro
They are among the most expensive Fiat vehicles ever, the two-seater versions of the Fiat Balilla. The 1934 Coppa d'Oro version on offer was once delivered in Switzerland and completely restored in the 1990s. Prices for these vehicles are in the lower six-figure range, and the Oldtimer Galerie will only provide an estimated value on request.
Usual suspects and special exotics
Of course, the Oldtimer Galerie also offers the auction classics, such as two Jaguar E-Types, an XK 120, a Porsche 911 T 2.4 Targa from 1972, Citroën DS, Ford Thunderbird, Triumph TR3, Porsche 356 A or Mercedes Benz 190 SL
The catalog also includes exotic cars that you hardly ever see, such as the 1965 BMW Hurrican, a one-off built by students at a master craftsman school in Germany, including the Swiss Max Seelaus, a Lancia Astura Cabriolet with Pinin Farina bodywork from 1935, a 1957 Facel Vega FV3 and a 1937 Aston Martin 15/98 Tourer.
Other rarities include the right-hand drive Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA from 1966, the Rolls-Royce Phantom I Ascot Tourer from 1930 and the BMW M1 from 1980.
But also vehicles for smaller budgets
But it doesn't have to be six-figure sums, you can also get something for less money at the Dolder. For example, the Fiat 1500 Cabriolet Pininfarina from 1964 is listed in the catalog at CHF 25,000 to 30,000 (Euro 21,000 to 25,000).
And the relatively rare Bentley 3.5 liter Derby Sport Saloon from 1934 with aluminium bodywork by Park Ward, with an expected price of CHF 40,000 to 50,000 (Euro 33,500 to 41,500), doesn't have to tear too big a hole in the wallet either.
And for fans with manual skills, there is the barn find of a 1959 Lincoln Continental Mark VI Executive Limousine, which can be driven for CHF 8,000 to 12,000 (Euro 6,500 to 10,000) and has Swiss vehicle documents.
Further information on the auction - previews are scheduled for June 5 to 7 from 10:00 in the morning - can be found on the Oldtimer Galerie Toffen website.
