Evert Louwman kept an immense amount of cars for the museum. Obviously for financing and practical reasons, and since he is building a new museum, not all of the cars were of interest to him.
On the other hand his bonhams auction house made him the ideal candidate to keep as much as possible together of this collection and to at least break even at the same time. The Alfa's were offered as a lot sale and the idea was not to split them up. Now perhaps, since there has been a lack of interest for a single sale, the cars will be sold separately.
A combined sale at auction would have been unimaginable..
With all due respect, these cars are all prime examples and have been extensively reviewed by Collins/McDonough. Does anybody have any reason to believe otherwise?
