Most of the collection are Porsches, and several are very notable indeed.
The highlight, for example, is a 1973 917/30 Can-Am Spyder – estimated by auctioneers Gooding and Co to be worth $5-7million.
Scarcely less notable is a 550 Spyder from 1955. Having covered a mere 10,500 miles in the hands of just three owners, it’s expected to make $5-6m.
From more modern times, Goodings estimates that $1.5-2m will buy the 962C which took podium places in the 1990 World Sportscar series with Joest Racing.
At the everyman end of the scale (everything’s relative), a 911 from 1966 is expected to drop the hammer at $200,000.
And what if Porsches aren’t your thing? Then there’s an estimate of $80,000 on a split-screen Volkswagen Type 2 camper from 1964.
