Unquestionably one of the sale key highlights is the single-owner Swiss collection of rare Porsche cars,
which aside from the aforementioned 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder, also features a 2004 Porsche Carrera GT
(Est. 775,000-825,000 CHF), a 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS (Est. 390,000-450,000 CHF), a 2010 Porsche 911
GT2 RS (Est. 400,000-450,000 CHF), a 1995 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet (Est. 775,000-875,000 CHF), a
2017 Porsche 911 R (Est. 330,000-380,000 CHF) and a 2010 Porsche 911 Sport Classic (Est.
310,000-350,000 CHF). |
The oldest car in the sale also has its roots in early motorsport. The 1917 Packard 2-25 Twin Six
Runabout is an evocative example of how cars shed weight with lean, sporting bodies in order to make them
faster and more competitive. Modified in period, this classic ‘Runabout’ style American icon, will offer huge fun
to its new owner (Est: $140,000-$160,000). The newest car to feature in the sale is another American icon, a
2021 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 2LT Coupe, the latest incarnation of the breed and the first to feature a
mid-mounted 6.2 litre V-8 engine (Est: $110,000-$125,000) |
Cars are represented by no less than 42 separate marques and range from an estimated $/CHF/€10,000
through to $/CHF/€1,000,000 and the sale provides a wonderfully diverse roster of cars, catering for all tastes
and budgets. Whether a 1988 Alfa Romeo 33 1.5 4x4 Sport Wagon (Est: €10,000-€12,000) is your dream
car, or rather a 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder (Est. 975,000-1,100,000 CHF) is within your budget, the Open
Roads, February sale offers both of extremes and everything in between. Aside from a large number of road
cars suitable for pure recreation, family fun and road rallies of all descriptions, the sale is also notable for an
interesting selection of competition cars. Ranging from a 1958 De Sanctis Formula Junior (Est:
€45,000-€55,000), and a 1963 Foglietti Formula 3 Junior (Est: €40,000-€50,000), representing fantastic
entry points onto historic racing grids around the world, through a 1976 Opel Manta rally car with
Paris-Dakar Rally provenance (Est: €40,000-€50,000), and onto stunning 1958 Scarab Reproduction (Est:
$160,000-$200,000) and a 1967 Porsche 911 Race Car (Est: $125,000-$150,000), all budgets and racing
ambitions are catered for. |
