RM Auctions, in association with Sothebys, will shine a spotlight
on a host of creative custom cars by leading UK designer, Andy
Saunders when the curtain rises on their second annual Automobiles
of London event at Battersea Park, London UK on October 29th,
2008.
Regarded as the UKs top custom car builder, Saunders has been at
the forefront of wild car creations for almost 30 years, having
built over 40 individual customs and restored a number of classics.
It is, however, his unique, off the wall designs and drivable car
sculptures that have earned him the most critical acclaim and
attracted global media attention. One journalist described Saunders
as an automotive alchemist for he turned base cars into gold. In
addition to participation in various European Concours dElegance
events and recently completing a pair of special commissions for
Hyundai, most recently, Saunders claimed his third Guinness Book of
World Records title, this time for the worlds lowest camper van.
Created onstage in just three days and before an audience of over
34,000 car enthusiasts, the diminutive 1980 VW Camper stands at just
3.3 feet tall.
This October as Saunders looks to share his designs with other
automotive enthusiasts and make room in his garages for new
creations, eleven of his cars will cross the block as part of RM
Auctions Automobiles of London event.
The Andy Saunders Collection is best described as rolling works of
modern art, says Max Girardo, Managing Director of RM Auctions
European Division.
Each piece effortlessly melds Saunders remarkable passion for cars
with his artistic talents, wild imagination and creative vision. It
is drivable art in the truest sense, he added.
The Andy Saunders Collection will join a host of luxury classic,
sports and racing cars at RMs London event.
Each car is certainly a one-of-a-kind collectors piece, says
Girardo. Unique and fun, they are certain to capture the attention
of both automotive and art enthusiasts and will add another element
of fun to the event, he adds.
RM Auctions, in association with Sothebys, will present their
Automobiles of London event at Battersea Evolution, Battersea Park,
London UK on October 29th, 2008. A full day preview will be held on
