The first auctions of the new year are always particularly important. Will prices fall at the start of the year, will collectors' interest turn to new vehicle types? The excitement is high, as the old year (2013) ended with further price records. And the old year was a lucrative one for RM Auctions and is likely to go down as the most successful ever in the auction company's history.
New year, new game
The organizers of RM Auctions have planned 127 vehicles (including one motorcycle) for Arizona. On two evenings, January 16 and 17, 2014, limousines, sports and racing cars worth almost USD 60 million (EUR 43 million and CHF 53 million respectively) will go under the hammer. An average hammer price of USD 470,000 (EUR 342,000 and CHF 417,000 respectively) is expected per lot.
Broad offer
The lot list includes super classics such as Mercedes Benz 300 SL (2x), Ferrari 275 GTB (2x), Ferrari Daytona or Jaguar E-Type (4 x) as well as selected exotics and unique pieces.
For example, the only Fiat 8V (Otto Vu) coupé offered by Ghia that was not equipped with a Supersonic body.
The Kaiser-Darrin Roadster with plastic bodywork and sliding doors or the NSU Wankel Spider, of which only a few are likely to have survived in the States, are also special features.
Racing car rarities
Rightly announced as highlights are the Porsche 718 RS 61 Spyder from 1961, the Porsche 906 Carrera 6 from 1966, the Chaparral 1 from 1961, the Osca 750 S from 1960 and the Bugatti Type 35B from 1930. The bids for some of these offerings are likely to reach into the seven-figure spheres right from the start.
The Toyota Celica IMSA GTO from 1986, a thoroughbred racing car valued at just under six figures, is probably something for the more discerning tastes.
Favorable opportunities
Around 40 of the vehicles are announced with estimated prices in the five-figure range, including a BMW 600, two BMW Isetta 300s, a Fiat 1500S Spider or a Maserati Merak SS (in US version).
But there could also be one or two bargains among the more expensive vehicles, as as many as 52 vehicles (41% of the offer) will be knocked down without a minimum selling price.
American specialties
Of course, the American classics will not be missing in Arizona, from the Corvette C1 to the quirky Edsel Corsair Convertible and the Hudson CommodoreEight Convertible.
Further information can be found on the RM website.
