Amilcar Cc Boattail Ch. Duval 1925

General description : Die Klassiker von Amilcar haben in den letzten Jahrzehnten erhebliche Preisentwicklungen erfahren. Wie bei vielen anderen Marken wie Bentley und Bugatti geht eine Wertsteigerung oft auf Kosten der Authentizität. Ursprüngliche Körper werden durch Nachbildungen von sportlichen Versionen ersetzt. Dem ist diese Amilcar entgangen, denn es war schon ein sportlicher Amilcar: es ist ein seltener und vor allem sehr originaler Amilcar CGS (Chassis Grand Sport) mit dem beliebten Aluminium-Boattail-Body von Ch. Duval.

Die Geschichte dieses Wagens reicht bis 1945 zurück. Das Auto wurde wahrscheinlich 1925 in Belgien neu geliefert, leider gingen die genauen Details während des Zweiten Weltkriegs verloren. Am Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs gab es in Belgien eine große Befreiungsarmee. Der amerikanische Kapitän J.K. Leydon kaufte diese CGS 1945 in Belgien und transportierte sie in die USA. Irgendwann in den frühen 70er Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts schenkte er seinem Sohn den Amilcar. In den späten 70er Jahren verkaufte der Sohn die CGS an einen neuen Besitzer. In den 1990er Jahren wurde der schon damals heute gefragte Klassiker Amilcar an das Vereinigte Königreich verkauft. Dort wurde das Auto Ende der 90er Jahre komplett restauriert und in der Farbe French Blue neu lackiert. Einer der Besitzer in England fuhr rennen mit das Auto. Die CGS wurde 2014 nach Belgien verkauft und erneut mit einer neuen Lackschicht versehen. Im Jahr 2017 kam der Amilcar in die Niederlande und unter anderem wurden Motor, Getriebe und Anlasser komplett überholt. Diese Arbeiten sind nun komplettiert, was zu einem wunderschön laufenden Amilcar führt, der für lange Touren bereit ist!

Die Geschichte dieser Amilcar CGS mit Boatail Body von Ch. Duval enthält zwei dicke Ordner mit Dokumentation, Rechnungen und Fotos von diesem einzigartigen Auto.
