175 cars all over 100 years old will be up for auction this August. These spectacular cars most of them in pristine condition were all part of those on exhibit at the Aalholm Automobil Museum. This museum is now being shut down and these cars with so much of history attached to them have nowhere to go and are hence being auctioned.
The museum was founded by Baron J O Raben-Levetzau, a Dutch auto collector who had a number of such marvels to his name all collected over a span of four decades. Some of these collector's items include a 1896 Léon Bollée Voiturette, a 1899 De Dion-Bouton Tricycle, a 1900 De Dion-Bouton Four-Seat Vis-à-Vis and a 1900 Decauville Roadster to name few. There will be others that will also go under the auctioneers hammer in August which will include a 1911 Rolls-Royce 40/50 hp Silver Ghost Roi des Belges Tourer, two exceedingly exceptional and significant pre-war Bugatti's such as 1931 Type 40A Tourer and 1938 57C Stelvio Drophead Coupe by Gangloff.
This is not the entire list of antique cars to be auctioned as a right-hand drive 1928 Mercedes-Benz Nürnburg Limousine, 1932 Hispano-Suiza HS26 Cabriolet-Victoria, 1938 Maybach Zeppelin DS8 Roadster 1963 Ferrari 250 GT/E will also be up for auction to be held on August 12, 2012.
