Our 10 favourites from Oldtimer Galerie Toffen on 30 March 

There’s a quandary every racing driver faces, be it in historic or contemporary motorsport, and that’s switching from an adrenaline-inducing, sense-assaulting competition car to a comparatively sensationless road car to drive home. Following the Le Mans Classic in 2016, Sébastien Crubilé of the French Porsche specialist Crubilé Sport and his friend, who for reasons of discretion we’ll call Mr G, pondered the issue. They’d raced a 911 Carrera RSR 2.1 Turbo and a 935 K3, respectively, two of the fastest and most exciting Porsche racers of them all.

Some 190 collector cars will cross the block over two days during the Goliath Techno Classica fair in Essen next month, a large proportion of which are intriguing modern classics from a mega Swiss collection RM Sotheby’s consigned late last year. We’ve already seen cars from the collection perform very well at the Canadian auction house’s Paris and Amelia Island sale, though it’s arguably saved the best for Essen.
