Hi Carlo,
are you shure about that? Kauss was a difficult man, like most very rich people. He sold before some important cars, like the Zagato Collection. Can't believe, that he didn't know, that Louwman is the owner of Bonhams. Most of the big Collectors are selling, Bardinon, Shirley, Ecclestone, Kogan. None of them, needs cash.
I think, Louwmans intention, was everytime to make cash. Telling, he want to sell some minor cars, the whole French luxory Car Collection, from Talbot to Delahayé??? All the Can-Am cars, the Maseratis??
In my opinion, he was not honest, he only wanted cash. How many cars are still there, 20% from the collection? Why Kauss didn't stop him?
But why he is selling the important Tipo 33 Collection, with Kidston and not with Bonhams?? Why, for some cars, were never before mentioned a chassisnumber? Kidston is assuming the numbers.
Fact is Peter Kauss bought a lot of T 33 parts and most cars were built from spares, by Erwin Derichs in Germany. Kauss wanted the whole T 33 Collection complete, same happened with other cars, the TZ-2 had no papers and no history.
The difference is, Kauss did it for his collection, but the 'new' owner is trying to make cash, even with 'homemade' history.
The Mugello Spider is unique, the Perescopia, there are only two more and not for sale, why they didn't went to Monterey, or to the Gstaat Auction??
Think about it.
Regards
Jörg
