Well known Amilcar to be sold in Monaco by RM. (UPDATE: about May 1st and US Labor Day)

• 

The two door boattail CGSs  is - set aside the ultimate C6 - one of the rarest of all Amilcars.  In the later days of the make's lifecycle and due to a lack of cashflow (this is an understatement) the St.Denis works just north of Paris had no other option than to build their own bodies in stead of ordering from the renowned bodymakers of Duval. Like with their chassis and engines, they did a great job without turning it into a marketing success. On the edge of bankruptcy Amilcar made a highly refined statement which still is seen as one of the finest design examples of the cyclecar era. The CGSs as depicted here is rarely ever seen on the road in company with its driver. According to insiders of the French club, only a very small number of these two door boattails did survive. This one to be auctioned by RM in Monaco (click) on Labor Day... May 1st. For more info you can also contact the editor.
