Gooding & Co Amelia Island 2020 - considerable demand for young cars

03/09/2020 86

It was a rather unusual selection of vehicles that Gooding & Co put under the hammer in Amelia Island on March 6, 2020. 60 percent of the cars on offer were from Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Volkswagen. And the average age of the vehicles on offer was just 36 years. In this way, Gooding set a counterpoint to the competition, which brought significantly higher pre-war shares to Amelia Island. However, the recipe did not work out badly for Gooding (and the consignors), as 93 percent of the cars on offer were sold, including a Lamborghini Miura P400S, a Porsche 934 and a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, notably one of the three pre-war vehicles, all of which went to new owners for over a million USD. However, the Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider from 1958 was left standing, despite a bid of USD 8 million. This auction report lists all the results in detail and analyzes the outcome of the event.

The äoldest classic car fair in Switzerland has been taking place since 1976 and has therefore long been a classic car itself. The “classic car and parts market” at Forum Fribourg is an integral part of the scene and will once again attract visitors from near and far. On 21 and 22 March 2020, around 400 exhibitors will once again present their offerings to 20’000 visitors on 20’000 square meters. Exciting special exhibitions and an impressive “Club Show” give hope for an attractive classic car fair at Röstigraben.
