Dear classic car enthusiast,
2012 is almost a month old and many exiting things have already happened in the world of classic cars. Four of our garages were present on the InterClassics show in Maastricht, the Netherlands. On Friday 13th yours truly posted a live InterClassics photo report on Twitter. The quality of the classic and collector cars on offer was high and for the smart buyer there were some nice opportunities. Also the TopMobiel Mille Miglia pavillion was very interesting as magnificent Mille Miglia participants were exhibited.
In the USA the 'Arizona Auction Week' was held from 17 until 22 January. Top class collector cars crossed the auction block for huge amounts of money. Gooding auctioned a rare 1955 alloy body Mercedes-Benz 300 SL 'gullwing' (only 29 built) for a 300 SL record of $ 4.620.000 including commision. One day later Barett-Jackson auctioned a very low mileage (4.217 miles) and untouched 'normal' 300 SL 'gullwing' for a whopping $ 2.200.000 including commission! That is almost three times the amount other 300 SL gullwings fetched during the auctions! The top class is moving beyond reach of many serious collector and enthusiast. It is therefore not surprising that many people start looking at the more 'earthly' segments of the classic car market. Super original 'untouched' specimen are also top notch in this market. See for example this beautiful original 1957 Triumph TR 3 which fetched $ 59.400,--. A delightful 'matching numbers' and beautifully restored 1956 Austin Healey 100/4 'Le Mans' crossed the auction block for the rewarding sum of $ 114.000,--. (1 $ at 1.28 Euro). An informative view on the world of American classic car auctions, shows, concourses and trade is given by the Discovery Channel show Chasing Classic Cars. In this show you see all facets of the (American) auction world - the golden high$ and the painful low$... Of course I have tested and photographed new arrived classic cars for sale the last weeks! Below you will find eleven classics of excellent quality including five recently restored Austin Healey's! Further more you can enjoy an impressive 1970 Aston Martin DBS, a very fast and thrilling 1968 Heritage Jaguar C-type, Saab 96 rally car and a super original 1967 Volvo 1800 S!
Do not forget to check the list 'expected and arrived classics' at the bottom of the Newsletter. These fine automobiles can be sold before being added to our sales collection. Just like the magnificent Ferrari Dino 246 GT which was announced previously. Sincerely, Marc Vorgers. Click the photographs to view the photo reportages immediately!
