Auction planned at Amelia Island Plantation
Gooding & Company, the internationally recognized auction house, is hosting a vintage automobile auction at Amelia Island Plantation—a AAA Four Diamond resort property located in northeast Florida. The one-day auction will take place on Friday, March 12 at 5 p.m.
The auction’s main attraction is the 1931 Voisin C20 “Mylord” Demi-Berline, Best of Show winner of the 2009 Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, which is expected to sell for more than $2.5 Million. Known internationally for being one of the most sensational classics from the 1930s, the unique C20 is recognized as a marvelous tribute to the design and engineering genius of Gabriel Voisin. It is powered by one of only five extraordinarily intricate Voisin 12-cylinder sleeve valve engines known to have been built, and the interior draws heavily from Gabriel Voisin’s aviation background with a myriad of controls and exposed mechanical components. Other star cars being offered in the auction include a 1963 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 Roadster, valued between $129,000 – $150,000, and a stunning light blue 1937 Peugeot 402 Darl’Mat Roadster valued between $650,000 – $850,000.
