On January 19 and 20, 2018, Gooding & Co will be the last of the major auction houses to auction 131 automobiles during Scottsdale Week at Fashion Square. The average price of a car is expected to be around USD 663,000 (EUR 557,000, CHF 657,000), which means a total turnover of around USD 87 million. A significant proportion of this is likely to be realized, as 59% of the lots will be auctioned without a reserve price, i.e. they will definitely be sold.
45 brands
24 Ferrari (plus 2 Dino), 22 Porsche, 13 Mercedes-Benz and 7 Alfa Romeo make up just over half of the offer, which is on average 49 years old.
The rest is made up of some exotic brands such as Allard, Aston Martin, Bristol, De Tomaso, Kaiser, Kurtis, Mercer and Pagani, of which only one is on the grid in each case.
Privateer Jaguar D-Type
The highlight of the Scottsdale auction is likely to be the 1956 Jaguar D-Type with chassis number XKD 518, which will be offered for USD 10 to 12 million.
With extensive British racing history and a red livery as it was then, this car represents a rare opportunity to acquire a customer D-Type at auction.
The Ferrari 500 Mondial Series 1 from 1954, which was also sold to a private driver, is not only similar in color. However, this elegant two-seater has a Belgian racing history and, at USD 5 to 5.5 million, costs just under half as much.
One-off Ferrari 275 GTB Speciale
A very special example from the 275 GTB series is set to be more expensive than the Mondial. Chassis 06437 was delivered new to Carrozzeria Pininfarina and was given a body that differs in some respects from the later Scaglietti examples. This can be seen in many details. The interior was also designed differently to the standard GTBs. The car was shown at the 1965 winter press conference in St. Moritz, at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1965 and at the Paris Motor Show in October 1965.
Now the one-off is expected to fetch USD 8 to 10 million, which is certainly within the realm of possibility.
Only slightly cheaper is a Ferrari 250 Series I Cabriolet from 1958 (USD 7 to 8.5 million), while a Ferrari 330 GTS from 1967 (USD 2 to 2.4 million) and a Ferrari 250 GT Series II Cabriolet from 1961 (USD 1.5 to 1.8 million) are slightly further away.
Five 300 SLs
Five Mercedes-Benz 300 SLs will go under the hammer, which is likely to be a near record. Buyers can not only choose between a gullwing (2x) and a roadster (3x), but also between different colors.
While the two Gullwings are offered for USD 1.1 to 1.3 million, the most expensive Roadster (1963 model year) costs USD 1.6 to 1.8 million.
Few pre-war vehicles
Just 10 cars built before the Second World War will go under the hammer in Scottsdale. The oldest car is a 1903 Oldsmobile Model R Curved Dash Runabout, estimated at USD 60,000 to 80,000, while the youngest is a 1941 Packard 180 Custom Super Eight, estimated to be worth USD 125,000 to 150,000.
A Bugatti Type 55 Roadster from 1931, on the other hand, is said to be really expensive, with an estimate of USD 4 to 5 million. This is the first Bugatti 55 and it looks extremely attractive with its unique design by Jean Bugatti. Then there is the victory in the Rallye des Alpes in 1947 by Gaston Descollas and an extensive restoration. It remains to be seen whether this will be enough to attract a five million euro bid.
Many relatively new cars
17 cars on offer at Gooding have not yet reached the youngtimer age, 11 others are over 20 years old, but not yet classic cars. That makes 28 cars or 21 percent of the lots that are still relatively young.
The range of young heroes is heavily dominated by Ferrari and Porsche, but there is also a Lexus LFA from 2012 (USD 900,000 to 1.2 million), a Pagani Huayra from 2014 (USD 2.2 to 2.6 million) and a McLaren P1 from 2015 (USD 1.8 to 2.2 million) among the lots.
Compared to these almost new super sports cars, even a Porsche Carrera GT from 2004 (USD 650,000 to 800,000) almost looks like a classic.
Five-figure prices also possible
Almost a quarter of the cars on offer are listed with estimated values of less than 100,000 American dollars. The cheapest car is a VW Karmann-Ghia from 1963 (USD 35,000 to 45,000), a Triumph TR4 can be bought at auction for USD 40,000 to 60,000 and a Porsche 356 B from 1961 for USD 50,000 to 70,000.
While a VW Beetle from 1951 was estimated at USD 60,000 to 70,000, the Audi Quattro from 1985 is listed in the catalog at USD 70,000 to 90,000. Alternatively, a Ferrari F355 from 1996, a Kaiser Dragon from 1953 or a three-door Range Rover from 1976 are also available for the same price.
However, the estimated prices are all at a high level and only in exceptional cases are they significantly lower than a year earlier.
