My special thanks go to Count Leopold Lippens, mayor of the town and president of the Zoute Automobile Club, the town of Knokke-Heist and all of its officials and the organisers of the Zoute Grand Prix. We have sourced an exciting and varied selection of automobilia and collectors’ motor cars, with a particularly strong accent on quality rather than quantity and with numerous lots offered without reserve allowing buyers not vendors to determine the current market correct values. Whether you are an experienced bidder wishing to enhance your collection or a first time buyer, I am confident that we offer something that will appeal to you – in addition where else in the world can you one day tell your grandchildren that you bid on and hopefully purchased the car they are driving in a spectacular tent on a beach! In our commitment to holding this sixth sale here in Belgium’s most prestigious seaside resort we very much wish to make a statement of our belief in the success of the five previous editions and in continuing the construction of a long and rewarding partnership with the above, as well as the event partners and sponsors over the coming years and share with them a common goal of providing another rewarding experience with the very best service.

C'est à cette période que naissent de nouveaux courants de design automobile, notamment américain, à l'image de la Chrysler Airflow de 1934 appliquant Peugeot 402 2 les idées du Streamline Modern. Les constructeurs européens sont dès lors désireux de suivre l'exemple des américains, mais seule la Peugeot 402 appliquera réellement les courbes plus fluide du Streamline. Elle remplace à la fois la Peugeot 401 et la Peugeot 601. Historique Streamline par Peugeot En période de guerre et de crise économique, la production automobile française subit un très fort ralentissement, les ventes passant de 230000 à 179000 exemplaires vendus entre 1930 et 1935[4] . Les européens appliquent alors les mêmes idées, sur l'aérodynamisme appliqué aux automobiles, afin de réduire la consommation des véhicules. Lors du Salon de Paris de 1933, la plupart des constructeurs présentent des automobiles aux formes très rondes et aux pare-brises inclinés.
