What is reportedly one of the biggest sales of classic cars owned by the same family is to take place later this year. It is being run by Bonhams.
A Mercedes 28-95 Phaeton is a delightful classic car
If you have an interest in pre Second World War cars then you may wish to get along to Lyngsbaelgard Manor that is in Denmark. The property is owned by Henrick Frederiksen who, along with his deceased wife Vivi, has been an enthusiastic owner of classic cars from this period.
The cars are being sold at the above manor on 26th September 2015 in an auction and the vehicles are expected to realize in the region of £20 million. There are 48 cars being sold in total that are a part of his extensive collection and they are all in working order and are in fantastic condition. The cars come from all over the world including Germany, America and the UK. They were purchased by Mr and Mrs Frederiksen over many years and have obviously been well maintained.
There is a good selection of vehicles to choose from including 13 Rolls-Royces. One of the most valuable cars is possibly a Maybach DS8 dating back to 1933 that could fetch as much as £2.3 million. There is a Mercedes 28-95 Phaeton made in 1914 that has a Louis Vuitton trunk. Other cars include the likes of Bentleys, a Lincoln and Cadillacs.
It is rare that a collection of so many classic cars comes up for auction that is owned by the one family. Apparently, Mr Frederiksen has never sold one classic car in the past so it may well be a day filled with mixed emotions for him when the auction takes place in September.
So, if you have an interest in pre World War Two vintage vehicles, you may wish to look into the collection further and perhaps consider attending the sale later this year that is likely to be well attended.
