It is just 8 days away until the 2018 Concours South Africa so we decided to scroll through the extensive list of vehicles headed for the auction block and share a few of (what we at least think are) the highlights.
This international classic car auction features over 70 collector cars from “The Plit Portfolio”, arguably one of Africa’s most significant motor car collections.
There will be 93 vehicles and bikes up for grabs but here are 15 of the most enticing (and expected to be most expensive) vehicles that you can bid on next weekend at Steyn City. For a full list of the offerings, please visit this link.
