Bonhams is proud to be a sponsor of “Cocktails for Cars” an annual event that raises funds for the conservation of the car collection at Heritage. My favorite was this ‘50 Allard J2 that the owner bought for $500 in the early 60’s and lovingly restored. The charmer of the day was the ‘91Nissan Figaro which was only manufactured for one year and marketed exclusively in Japan (with right-hand drive!). I would also love to have the ‘64 Mercedes 230SL for driving around the Cape this fall!
