One of the largest collections of Cadillacs ever to be put under the hammer will be appearing alongside a prominent collection of American and European classic cars at Maastricht on 10th January with no reserve.
The sale at Les Grandes Marques, Interclassics and Topmobiel show in Maastricht, The Netherlands, is one of a kind, featuring 100 American and European classics, 35 of which are Cadillacs. The cars featured are coming from the Stasys Brundza Collection, one of Eastern Europe’s most significant private collections to be offered for sale.
An early 1904 Cadillac B 4S will be featuring at the auction, this model was only in production for over a year and its sturdy single cylinder engine was inherited from its predecessors, but the wheelbase was slightly increased to give more space and greater stability. This beautiful two seater example is finished in Burgundy and is in pleasing cosmetic condition, equipped with artillery wheels and a pair of brass headlamps. This model is estimated at €60,000 – €75,000.
Chris Routledge, Managing Partner of Coys, said: “Once again we’re delighted to be chosen to handle another significant classic car collection. In December alone we handled the Muller collection from Switzerland and the Fink family from Bayern Munich’s collection in London, but now to have the Brundza collection is a further achievement.
“We have over 100 classic cars and motor bikes available, and yet again, the interest and response in our upcoming auction has been excellent”.
Also featuring is a 1959 Cadillac Sedan De Ville Flat Top, including a 6.4 litre V8 engine, clocking only 51,286 miles. Finished in Princess Green with a preserved beige interior, this is a stunning example, presenting a great chance to purchase a classic Cadillac from the 1958 range at no reserve. This example is estimated at €30,000 – €40,000.
Another prominent Cadillac in the collection is a 1959 Cadillac Fleetwood Series 75, estimated at €20,000 – €25,000. The range of models that this Cadillac comes from is renowned for their exaggerated tailfins and “bullet” rear lights, creating a sensation on their introduction, being one of the most celebrated and collectable of all post-war models.

- Coys line up superb auction collection
Classic cars have outperformed most investments over the last few years and there has been an upsurge in people buying classic cars, motorcycles and poster art instead of more traditional options.
“Our Christmas ‘True Greats’ sale which is being held in Westminster at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Lindley Hall on December 2nd has always been a great success,” said Managing Partner Chris Routledge, “but this time, like last year, we have seen more and more people talking to us about cars and motorcycles as an investment as well as something that they can drive and enjoy.”
“Classic cars have been a phenomenal investment and this appears to be continuing. Now we are seeing the same with motorcycles and with motoring and film posters. We have received enquiries from all over the world, particularly from investors who have not entered these markets before.”
He added: “We have been astounded at how car and movie posters have continued to grow in value. People love the fact that they can see their investment everyday on their wall at home and that it is not just a piece of paper or a note on a computer.”
COYS have £200,000 worth of posters going under the hammer and because interest has been so great are holding a film poster and art investment evening at the Grange St. Paul’s Hotel between 6pm and 8pm and all are welcome to join. Experts will be on hand to talk about the posters, why they have gone up in value, what makes a good poster, etc.

The sale will also feature a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing, estimated at £950,000 to £1,100,000. This is an exceptional example of one of the most desirable sports-coupes ever made, especially as it boasts a desirable original specification and retains its original engine.

  Over seventy collector cars and motorcycles and one hundred original film posters to be auctioned
With more than seventy vehicles going under the hammer, including Niki Lauda’s first F1 car and a huge number of cinema posters, Coys end of season ‘True Greats’ Christmas sale at the Royal Horticultural Halls in London on December 2nd is likely to be a real blockbuster.
Chris Routledge, Managing Partner at Coys, said: “We have an amazing number of interesting cars going under the hammer. It will be a truly unique opportunity for any serious collector to acquire some of the most spectacular cars available on the open market.” The auction will feature three times World Champion Niki Lauda’s first F1 car. This iconic former Grand Prix March from the “Golden Era” was built in 1971 for Ronnie Peterson, who used it as his initial Works Team Car at Kylami, Monaco and the memorable Zandfort race. This then became his spare car after he took over the new 711 -6 chassis at the German Grand Prix of that year. It was at this time in 1971 that this car became the career opener for Niki Lauda when he started at Peterson’s team as the second works driver. It is estimated at £450,000 to £500,000. The sale will also feature a 1964 Works Prototype Porsche 904/6 Carrera GTP, possibly one of the finest and most successful Porsches ever constructed. It kick started a program of racing cars, that would eventually result in the all-conquering 917. It also holds a unique spot in the manufacturer’s history as the last dual-purpose sports scar Porsche ever built. The car comes with a file containing letters from Porsche Works confirming 904-108`s works prototype history and pictures of its works participation at the 1965 Targa Florio. Immaculately presented, ready for use and running as it should, this is a world-class car for a world-class collection. It is estimated at £1,100,000 to £1,300,000. A wonderful 1964 Ferrari 275 GTB/2 6 C is also on offer. This is an early short nose example in excellent all round condition in its distinctive Giallo Fly, a colour that complements the 275’s lines beautifully. Mechanically, it is in outstanding condition, it boasts an interesting specification, proudly bearing the rare and desirable 6 carburettors. It is estimated at £1,100,000 to £1,400,000 Serious collectors or Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts will find an example of one of the most desirable sports-coupes ever made, a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing. This exceptional car boasts a desirable original specification and retains its original engine. It is estimated at £950,000 to £1,100,000. A 1936 Alvis Speed 20 Vanden Plas Tourer, ex Brooklands winning car and one of only six produced will be on sale, estimated at £110,000 to £130,000. This matching numbers car, with extensive pre and post war race history, is offered in its original factory specification. Finished in silver beige over black with a complementary and original beige interior, it is supplied with full VSCC and FIVA papers, which enable it to compete in many events worldwide. It is estimated at £90,000 to £110,000. The auction will also feature a 1970 Renault Alpine A 110 Factory prototype “Group 4” with FIA papers, estimated at £190,000 to £ 220,000; a 1934 Bugatti Type 57 Series I Ventoux, estimated at £250,000 to £280,000; a beautiful and original 1948 MG TC, estimated at £20,000 to £25,000; and a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS, estimated at £350,000 to 450,000.

Auction house to run movie poster investment evening
The sale will feature some rare and important posters from iconic productions including Casablanca, King Kong, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Get Carter and James Bond. There will also be a collection of 1930’s advertising posters from the Far East, a wand box signed by John Hurt from the first Harry Potter film and original motor racing posters from Le Mans and other circuits.
Like cars, movie posters have become hugely important as investments in the last few years, and actually posters matching vehicles in terms of investment potential.
Chris Routledge, Managing Director at Coys, said: “More and more people are buying posters as investments and because of this we are putting some of the most important items from the sale on show at the atrium of the Grange St. Paul’s Hotel, at 10 Godliman Street, EC4, between the 20th and 30th of November. The hotel’s giant video wall will also feature more of the items.”
Chris Routledge added: “Not only that but on the evening of November 27th between 6pm and 8pm we will be holding a movie investment evening in the atrium of the Grange St Paul’s hotel, where potential purchasers will be able to join us for a drink, view the posters, hear about their investment potential and have a question and answer session with Coys poster expert Adrian Cowdry and expert restorer and framer Josh Kronenberg.”
Coys will be auctioning a 1942 US window card poster of Casablanca, one of the great Hollywood giants, with superb images of Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. This poster is in very high demand as there are only a few examples surviving. It is estimated at £7,000 to £10,000.
Adrian Cowdry, vintage poster specialist at Coys, said: “Vintage posters are going up in value and some of the examples we have on offer will certainly prove to be a very good investment. Movies are just a small part of the poster world and often inspire car lovers – where would Aston Martin be without 007? Michael Caine and Mini Cooper can often be spoken of in the same sentence. Movies and classic cars go hand in hand and Coys are proud to marry the two subjects up in one sale.”
An original 1933 King Kong French Grande poster will be offered at £20,000 to £25,000. Unlike the American paper, which has Kong on top of the Empire State, this poster is a wonderful example, showing King Kong opening the giant gates as he looks over the natives.
Motoring enthusiasts will find a series of Steve McQueen’s 1971 Le Mans movie posters. This was one of the most indulgent films ever made, yet today it is a firm favourite because McQueen insisted on the finite detail putting the audience into the driving seat. The posters are offered at different prices, ranging from £300 to £1600.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Goldfinger, the most popular of all the James Bond films, the UK Quad poster will be on offer from £3000 to £4000. This is possibly the most iconic 007 poster with Margaret Nolan posing in full gold body paint and a gold bikini in the famous Robert Brownjohn photographic images. A 1962 Dr. No UK Quad poster will also be sold and is estimated at £8,000 to £10,000.
The auction will also feature a 1962 Breakfast at Tiffany’s with art by Robert McGinnis, showing the beautiful Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in the Dior little black number. This is possibly one of the most desirable posters to have been published and is estimated at £1,500 to £2,000.
A Get Carter 1971 US One Sheet Pop Art Style, probably one of the most rare movie posters of the early 1970’s, will be offered at £2500-3000. This is a very much sought after version, with a distinctive design by John Van Hamersveld, which was used in small numbers in the US for the international release.
Other titles featured at the sale include Some Like it Hot, Bulitt, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Apocalypse Now, Diamonds Are Forever, Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction and the Phantom of the Opera.
There will be a huge sale of autographs from various film, music and motor racing legends, including Enzo Ferrari, Juan Manuel Fangio, Carol Shelby, Graham Hill, Jim Clark, James Hunt, Barry Sheene, Geoff Duke, The Beatles, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Jack Nicholson, Tom Hanks, Kenneth More and James Gandolfini, amongst many more.
Coys ‘True Greats’ auction takes place on Tuesday 2nd December 2014 at 7pm at the Royal Horticultural Society, Lindley Hall, Vincent Square, Westminster, London, SW1P 2PE.

]]>Specialist section to feature fifteen of the finest Porsches on the market, including a 911 S/T ex-Walter Röhrl
Chris Routledge, Managing Partner at international auctioneers Coys, said: “Nurburgring promises to be a spectacular sale. We are featuring a specialist section, ‘The Excellence of Porsche’, offering some of the finest Porsches available on the market anywhere in the world today, including an ultra-rare and original 1970 911S/T, formerly the property of Walter Röhrl, and a highly genuine Porsche 934 RSR Turbo, triple Le Mans entrant in 76, 77 and 78.”
Arguably the most exciting car in the auction, the Porsche 911 S/T competed with its first owner in 1971 at the Avus Ring in Berlin where it was placed 6th and 7th in the GT class and Group 4 respectively. No expense has been spared in the restoration of this car, achieving the standard exactly as it left Werk 1 in 1970. All the engine parts are original S/T specification and not re-manufactured, there are engine bills amounting to €150,000 and paintwork bills totalling over €25,000.
Estimated at €900,000 to €1,100,000, this car was most significantly in Walter Röhrl’s ownership between 2009 and 2011, who is named on its current FIA HTP papers. This is one of the rarest and most sought after 911s in the world and surely worthy of a place in any Porsche museum or to be seen in any significant worldwide motoring event.
Another feature of the specialist Porsche section is the 1976 934 RSR Turbo, estimated at €900,000 to €1,000,000, which started at Le Mans in 1976 with drivers Nick Faure and John Goss. The car did not finish the race due to problems with the turbocharger and was subsequently sold to well-known NSU and Porsche tuner Jean-Pierre Gaban. This is indeed one of the ultra-rare (1 of 31 built) Porsche 934 RSR Turbos with documented period race history, FIA papers and race ready, and certainly one of the most significant survivors from this important period of racing.
The sale will also feature a very exciting ex-works BMW 2002 competition car, originally fitted with a Grand Prix engine by the factory and raced by none other than Jean Todt. This car, estimated at €180,000 to €220,000, was the second of two cars built by BMW Motorsport in 1974/75 and fitted with a modified M12/7 Formula 2 engine. The vendor first remembers seeing the car competing in June of 1975, where won the Donegal International Rally with drivers Warmbold and Davenport.
On the more contemporary end of the spectrum, Coys will be selling the now world famous Works – built Ferrari Tipo 458 Italia, best known as ‘The Niki Lauda Car’. As one of the most striking Ferrari’s for a long time, the 458 mixes delicate lines with aggressive styling combined to form one of the prettiest cars on the market with visual drama from every angle. The 2014 Ferrari 458, estimated at €210,000 – €250,000 is a one-off special edition created by Ferrari’s Tailor Made personalisation programme, commissioned by a customer to celebrate the marque’s 1970s F1 racing heritage and more specifically the two-time World Champion Niki Lauda.
A Porsche 356 Speedster featured at the auction left the factory in Stuttgart in 1958 and is one of only 552 made that year. As one of the most iconic styled sports cars of all time, this fine example is finished in silver with a stylish black interior and is estimated at €250,000 at €300,000.
Another stunning example being offered is a 1971 Ferrari Dino 246GT, estimated at €270,000 to €300,000. The definitive 246 Dino, with its 2.4 litre V6 appeared in late 1969 and fewer than 4,000 were built (about 1,200 of them had the detachable roof Spyder version). This example underwent a full restoration during 2011 and was then sold to a collector in Spain where it has spent the last couple of years.
Auction: Saturday 9th August 2014 at 4:00pm
Viewing: Friday 8th August from 10.00am to 7.00pm. Saturday 9th August from 10.00am
Location: The Nürburgring, Nürburg, Germany

All the gadgets that appeared in Bond’s car in the Goldfinger novel appear in this Aston Martin, including reinforced steel bumpers, concealed lockers, a heavy-duty anti-interference ignition system, driver’s seat connections for two-way radio and a Halda Speed Pilot. This model is a strong contender for the world’s most significant Aston Martin ever to be offered to the open market.
Chris Routledge, Managing Partner of the auction house, said “This could be one of the most important discoveries of all time, confirming the link between the undoubtedly most famous spy in history and possibly the world’s most iconic sports car marque”.
Also appearing at the auction will be a 1951 Jaguar Mk V Drophead Coupé, one of the most desirable cars of its time, with exceptional performance and handling. Its age has added lustre to its reputation with the stylish drophead coupé being particularly desirable. Estimated at £50,000 – £60,000, these were one of the most luxurious models of their day and still turn heads today.
A 1934 Bugatti Type 57 Series I Ventoux is estimated to make £275,000 to £320,000, featuring a ‘profilee’ windscreen and what were known as ‘spats’, which fill the rear wheel arches. This is an uncommonly pure example of the superb early version of the design; the frontal aspect is balanced by a small integral projecting luggage boot, the exterior handsomely finished in Embassy Black and retains the correct wire wheels.
Alongside the car auction, attendees have been invited to bring with them their own classic cars, comprising a Concours d’ Elegance, which is set to feature the likes of a 1964 Ferrari 275 GTB/4, a 1967 Lamborghini Miura and many more, all of which will be judged by a selection of guest judges.
This selection of judges includes BBC Oxford’s Roving Reporter Lilley Mitchel, AC Owner’s Club Chairman Bertie Gilbart Smith, Royal Marine Lt Colonel Cliff Dare MBE and Karen Ellis, the CEO of Ellis Clowes specialist motor sport insurance company. This event will provide a bit of light hearted entertainment, as well as giving those present a chance to showcase their own classic cars.
To celebrate the 350th anniversary of Royal marines, a number of military vehicles will be present on the day at Blenheim Palace, including a 1941 Austin Utility, a 1944 Bedford M.W, a 1936 Morris Commercial CS8 Mk3, amongst others. This marks a momentous anniversary of a vital part of Britain’s Armed Forces, who were formed on the 28h October 1664 after an Order-in-Council was issued calling for 1200 soldiers to be recruited for service in the Fleet. The military vehicles will be accompanied by a group of Royal Marines Cadets, and will be judged by Lt Colonel Cliff Dare, who will award the winner the 350th Anniversary Cup.
Not only will COYS be putting an extensive selection of classic cars under the hammer, they will also be putting over 90 motorcycles to auction on Friday 11th July at Blenheim Palace. Featuring among these motorcycles is a 1920 Henderson 1300 four cylinder, complete with a stylish sidecar assembled by Ferrari, which was an exhibit in the sidecar museum near Ancona. A very rare find, this Henderson is estimated at £55,000 to £70,000, and is presented in a well-preserved condition.
Also featuring at the motorcycle auction on the 11th is an extremely rare Harley-Davidson XR750, described as one of the most famous racing bikes in American motorcycle history, estimated to go for £25,000 to £30,000. This model was limited to the public through only authorised dealers, meaning even in its day it was a rarity, dominating ‘flat track’ racing for over 10 years.

]]>Renowned for auctioning an extensive range of classic cars, COYS are to put over 90 motorcycles under the hammer at Blenheim Palace on Friday 11th July.
Included in the auction is an extremely rare 1974 Ducati 750 surfacing from a prominent Italian collection, and a Harley-Davidson XR750, described as one of the most famous racing bikes in American motorcycle history.
COYS senior motorcycle specialist Anthony Godin, said, “COYS are delighted to be back in the collector motorcycle market once again with this extensive catalogue”.
COYS have always been credited for their ability to bring great classic cars to auction, but there has been some time since their last motorcycle auction. Anthony added, “This marks the rejuvenation of COYS involvement in classic motorcycle auctions”.
The 1974 Ducati, which is estimated at £28,000 to £34,000, is in perfect original condition complete with clip-on handlebars and rearset footpegs to tilt the rider forward for top-speed blasts. The Harley-Davidson XR750 totally dominated ‘flat track’ racing for over 10 years. Limited to the public through only authorised dealers, even in their day they were a rarity, this particular model is estimated to go for £25,000 to £30,000.
Alongside these two prominent classic bikes, COYS will also be featuring a 1927 Indian Prince 350cc, which is estimated at £26,000 to £30,000. This bike was incredibly ahead of its time, resulting in a short four-year production run, making it now a well sought after collector’s item. This lightweight motorcycle boasts a single-cylinder motor, with a spring-mounted seat due to the Indian’s lacking facility of rear suspension.
Also on offer will be a 1952 Vincent Rapide Series C, estimated at £45,000 to £50,000. According to factory records this bike was dispatched from the works in 1952, undergoing a comprehensive restoration over a four-year period in the late 1980’s, covering approximately 6000 miles since. The bike remains in excellent general condition with the only deviation from the original specification being the fitment of stainless mudguards.
Another stunning example of the interesting bikes COYS has to offer at Blenheim Palace is the 1931 Indian four cylinder, estimated at £62,000 to £70,000, this classic bike is often referred to as the series 402, but carries with it great improvements on the previous model. These improvements include the revised crankcases, newer special alloy pistons, and an improved frame, this motorcycle characterises the first appearance of chrome on Indian bikes.
As one of the most charismatic names in American motorcycling history, Henderson produced nothing but four-cylinder motorcycles in the course of its 19-year existence. A typical example of this, featuring at Blenheim, is the 1920 Henderson 1300 four cylinder, with a stylish sidecar assembled in the Ferrari workshops in the 1920’s. For 40 years this sidecar was an exhibit in the sidecar museum near Ancona, and was previously used as a taxi, hence the two seats. A very rare find, this Henderson is estimated at £55,000 to £70,000, and is presented in a well-preserved condition.
A 1951 Moto Guzzi 500 cc ‘Gambalunga’ Prototype is expected to make between £55,000 and £70,000. Gambalunga in Italian means “long leg”, and this was the name given to this absolutely stunning Moto Guzzi single-cylinder racing motorcycle built from 1946 to 1951. This particular example was custom built with the help of racer Enrico Loronzetti, who won the 250 cc World Championship for Moto Guzzi.

A 1972 Maserati Ghibli SS fetched £177,640, which is believed to be a world record price for this model and the first of the three records broken by Coys.
The other two cars reaching exceptional prices were a 1981 Delorean DMC-12 and a 1950 Series 1 Land Rover 80”, both part of the new Channel 4 series “Cars” (working title) with star Philip Glenister and restorer Ant Anstead – prices for these cars will be revealed later this summer when the show goes on air.
Chris Routledge, Managing Partner at Coys, said: “It was an exceptional event, a buzzing evening with celebrities and a great crowd. The six Channel 4 cars sold really well, including two world records, but you will have to watch it on TV this summer to know how much they went for!”
He added: “It was the first time for an auction company in Europe to do something like this. The experience was excellent, clients really enjoyed it and we were delighted to be associated with the production, which gave collectors the opportunity to purchase genuine celebrity television-featured cars that have been restored effectively regardless of cost.”
Other important cars that went under the hammer included the former manager of The Beatles Brian Epstein’s 1964 Bentley S3, which sold for £31,000, a 1964 Aston Martin DB5 that sold for £360,000 and a 1926 Rolls Royce 20HP Barrel sided Tourer that sold for £103,720.
Coys’ next auction will be held on Saturday 29th March at Techno Classica in Essen, Germany. More details on important entries will be released soon.
