Taking place during the Montreux Grand Prix, an historic motorsport festival in the small Swiss town more commonly associated with jazz music, Galartis’ next sale comprises 41 collector cars lead by a 1959 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster that’s been with its current owner for the past 30 years. Presented in its original anthracite-over-camel colour combination and with the all-important matching numbers, the car is expected to sell for 1.2–1.4m CHF.

The Goodwood Revival is so much more than just motor racing. It’s the Tazio Nuvolari lookalike smoking a cigar he bought from a vintage pram; the dull drone of the Spitfire and P51 Mustang circling overhead on their ‘Dawn Patrol’; the rockabillies swinging down ‘Gasoline Alley’; and the heady smell of Castrol that laces the fresh late summer air.
