Re: 1930 734 Speedster on the auction block

While I have a factory photo of a 734 "coupe", they never made one available to the public. What they offered was the coupe victoria, or 5-passenger coupe.

As far as which is worth the most, that's real tough to say since they don't come up for sale very often. This year a phaeton will be sold, and may break any known record for the model. Two or three years from now, a boattail (a real one) may come up for sale, and then it might set a record. Then another few years a roadster will break a record. The only way to know for sure would be if two or three came up at the same time, or within the same year.

The rarity of the closed cars would probably not rate them as being more valuable than the open cars. There is one coupe victoria known (rumors of a second body being in Australia have not been confirmed). There are only two sedans.
