85 cars and a caravan (including late registrations) will go under the hammer at the traditional spring auction of the Oldtimer Galerie in Toffen on April 23, 2016.
Together, the vehicles represent a value of around 3.6 million Swiss francs or 3.3 million euros. An average of around CHF 44,800 or EUR 40,700 is therefore expected per lot.
Across the decades
Things get underway at 13:30, starting with a Jaguar XJ 3.2 Executive from 1996, a 20-year-old classic of the future with 181,500 km on the clock and in well-maintained condition, which will be auctioned without a minimum bid. The experts at Oldtimer Galerie estimate the value of the dark sedan from the X300 generation at around CHF 4,500 to 5,500. This car is not atypical for the offer on April 23, although the Jaguar is certainly one of the youngest vehicles.
At the other end of the age spectrum is a 1928 Delage DR 70 faux convertible estimated at CHF 30,000 to 40,000, one of six pre-war cars that also include a 1934 Aero 662 Roadster, a 1934 Morgan F2 Threewheeler and a 1935 rear-engined Mercedes-Benz 130.
Almost half of the cars are from the fifties and sixties, but the youngtimer fraction is also represented with around a quarter, the youngest car was built in 2010, so it is almost a used car if it were not a Morgan 4/4 1600, which naturally matures into a classic as soon as it leaves the factory, so to speak.
The Alfa Romeo 1900 C from Ghia-Aigle
The flagship of the auction is undoubtedly the Alfa Romeo 1900 C Super Sprint coupé by Ghia-Aigle from 1957. Just five of these cars were hand-built to a design by Giovanni Michelotti.
CHF 260,000 to 280,000 is the estimated value of this Concours candidate, making the Alfa the most valuable vehicle in the auction, followed by a Porsche 356 SC Cabriolet from 1964 (CHF 185'000 to 195,000), a Facel-Vega FV 3 from 1957 (CHF 155,000 to 165,000) and a Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Litre S1 Roadster from 1965 (CHF 115,000 to 125,000).
Interesting former bread-and-butter cars
As always in Toffen, there are also some interesting bread-and-butter cars from the past on sale, such as a selection of four Opel Rekord models, a 1967 Renault 4, a 1965 Auto 72 or a 1954 Citroën 2 CV A, to name just a few examples.
It's worth taking a closer look at the catalog, because you might find a car on offer that you have special memories of.
Sports cars for sunny days
People looking for a car for next summer will certainly be interested in the sporty convertibles on offer, with a total of 38 open-top cars. These include an Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 QV from 1987, an Austin-Healey 3000 Mk II BT7 from 1962, a Chevrolet Corvette Convertible from 1993, a Chrysler Viper RT/10 from 1994, a Lotus Elan SE Turbo from 1992, a Maserati Birturbo Spyder from 1985 and an early Porsche 911 SC Cabriolet from 1983.
But those who are looking for luxury will also find something of interest in Toffen, such as a Rolls-Royce Corniche Coupé from 1976 or a Bristol Blenheim 3 first registered in 2000.
More information and pictures of the auction on April 23, 2016 can be found on the website of the Oldtimer Galerie Toffen.
