Bothwell was also a fan of horse-drawn streetcars and even installed over a mile of track on his property to entertain guests while keeping the streetcars in working condition. Five of these restored icons, originally from the city of Los Angeles, will be included in the sale. And then there will be the vast, ever-important collection of spares and automobilia amassed by Bothwell over a lifetime of collecting.Says Malcolm Barber, Bonhams Chairman, 'Lindley and Ann Bothwell need little introduction. Their contribution to historic motoring is renowned, their cars are legendary and, most important, their enthusiasm all encompassing. This is truly a monumental collection and we are extremely flattered to represent it at auction. The phrase 'once-in-a-lifetime' is very appropriate.' Adds Rupert Banner, Bonhams VP of Motoring, 'We are incredibly excited to offer these fascinating automobiles for sale, particularly the early racers. The sale of the sole surviving L45 Grand Prix Peugeot will be a generational opportunity to acquire a landmark car in the history of the development of racing in America and Europe.' The Bothwell Collection will be auctioned on site, at the Bothwell Ranch in Woodland Hills, California (just north of Los Angeles), on Saturday, November 11th. More information will be posted in the coming weeks at www.bonhams.com/bothwell.
