Two Bugatti Veyron lead a selection of classic automobiles at the auction. The 16.4 Super Sport Coupé from 2010 and the 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse from 2014 offer buyers the choice between driving pleasure in summer or winter; for the passionate Bugatti collector even both.
Supercars from a private collection
In addition to the duo, ten other supercars in mint condition are also on offer, all of which come from a private collection, including a Ferrari 599 SA Aperta and two AMG SLS Black Series in the coupé version. The other lots include a 2016 Porsche 918 Spyder.
Another highlight is a supercar from another era, a Maserati Mistral Spyder. Only 125 units of this convertible were produced.
Bentley from Carrosserie Worblaufen
An even rarer model is the Derby Bentley. Company founder W.O. Bentley described the model with the body designed by Carrosserie Worblaufen as "the most beautiful example of the brand".
Built in 1938, the four-door 4.5-liter convertible has been on display at the Concours Villa d'Este and Pebble Beach in recent years.
Rare motorcycles on offer
But not only cars are on offer, there is also an interesting selection of classic and vintage motorcycles, including a Honda CB500 from 1977, an original Swiss police motorcycle that was used in the cantons of Fribourg and Solothurn.
A collection of more than 20 BMW touring motorcycles representing eight decades of Bavarian motorcycle history will also be on display.
For example, two rare and coveted models from the 1920s, a 494CC R42 from 1927 and a 1928 500CC R57 from 1928, one of only 1006 examples built.
