95 vehicles from 44 brands spanning nine decades - the auction at the Oldtimer Galerie in Toffen on November 29, 2014 promises to be a crowning finale to the season.
On average, each vehicle on offer (including three motorcycles) is expected to fetch CHF 37,909 or EUR 31,594.
Jaguar ahead of Mercedes Benz and Ford
11 Jaguar saloons and sports cars, including of course two E-Types, 8 vehicles from Mercedes Benz, 7 from Ford and 5 from Citroën appear on the lot list, as do a Lamborghini Espada, a Renault 4CV, a Peugeot 404 Berline and a Monteverdi Safari.
7 pre-war vehicles, 12 with vintages between 1944 and 1959, 28 from the 1960s, 25 from the 1970s, 9 from the 1990s and 14 from the recent past are vying for bidders' hearts.
Noble BMW 503
The BMW 503 Coupé Series 1 from 1957 received the highest estimate. However, at CHF 195,000 to 205,000 (Euro 162,500 to 171,000), the car designed by Graf Goertz sounds like a special offer, especially when you consider the value of the BMW 507, which was built in similarly small numbers.
A youngtimer highlight
The Opel Manta B 2000 E "Irmscher Edition" from 1986, which was visually modeled on the Manta 400, could be a treat for youngtimer fans. At CHF 12,000 to 14,000 (Euro 10,000 to 11,500), you are definitely getting a rarity.
Citroën collection
In one afternoon in Toffen on November 29, 2014, you could acquire the basis for a Citroën collection that represents some of the most important limousine milestones in the brand's history: Citroën 11 B from 1956, Citroën 2 CV A from 1954, Citroën DS 19 from 1964 and Citroën DS 23 Pallas from 1974. And then there's a gold-colored Citroën SM Coupé from 1973 with fuel injection.
The special DKW
In the 1930s, Ernst Göhner imported DKW chassis to Switzerland and initially fitted them with plywood/artificial leather bodies in Altstätten, hence the name HolKa for wooden body, and later with sheet metal bodies.
The Landi-DKW was presented at the 1939 national exhibition. This convertible saloon is probably one of the few survivors of these 2-cylinder, 2-stroke vehicles, so CHF 15,000 to 18,000 (Euro 12,500 to 15,000) does not seem excessive.
Rarities non-stop
The auction catalog features a whole range of rarities that you don't come across every day, from the 1934 Aero 662 Roadsterto the 1924 Morris Cowley, the 1961 Triumph Italia 2000, the 1970 Bristol 411 and the 1932 Lincoln Model KA Town Sedan. There's a good chance that you won't get another chance to buy one of these vehicles at auction any time soon.
Of course, the onset of winter doesn't seem like the ideal time to buy one of the 20 convertibles at auction, but a Mercedes Benz 190 SL, a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow Drophead Coupé or an Austin-Healey Sprite will still be fun to drive in a few months' time when spring arrives. And whether they will be cheaper by then is uncertain.
Further information and extensive collections of pictures of the individual vehicles at the Toffen auction can be found on the Oldtimer Galerie website.
