The program for the 2019 AvD Oldtimer Grand Prix has been finalized and promises even more action, even more fascinating vehicles and an even fuller schedule from 9 to 11 August. The highlights of previous years will be retained: The FIA championships for historic Formula 1 cars and historic sports cars are on the grid, and the Le Mans legends of the 1950s and the touring cars of DTM history are also back on the program.
211 cars (including two tractors) will go under the hammer at RM/Sotheby’s in Essen over two days on the occasion of Techno Classica. The average age is a youthful 37.6 years, which is mainly due to the fact that almost half of the cars are still youngtimers or neoclassics. With 52 percent of the lots being auctioned without a reserve price, there should be plenty of momentum. However, with an average value of EUR 137,000 or CHF 153,000, real bargains cannot be expected, or can they? It will be interesting to see.
In the „far north“ of Germany – on the North Sea, between the Dollart and the Jade Bay – lies East Frisia. And the wellness and garden hotel Ringhotel Köhlers Forsthaus is located in the middle of this peninsula, just three kilometers from the city center of the charming residential town of Aurich. Idyllically situated on the edge of the forest and surrounded by a park-like garden by a small lake, it is a true oasis of peace! And the starting point for wonderful classic car tours.
ÜOver 340 automobiles (plus some motorcycles) from 71 brands will be offered by RM/Sotheby’s on 29 and 30 March 2019 in Fort Lauderdale.

On average, the cars are 46 years old, which disguises the fact that many youngtimers are also hoping for new owners. The neo-classic segment is also strongly represented with üover 50 vehicles.
