Citroën 2CV Sahara. Give us your estimate! (SOLD at US$ 142,000!)

Remember the very original- low-mileage Citroën 2CV that went to auction a few months ago? The estimate by the French Auction House Artcurial was 40-50.000 dollars (30-40.000 euros or 25-30.000 pounds), but bidding went completely through the roof. In the end it was sold astonishing 78.400 dollars (€59.600 or 49.500 pounds) way above estimate. At Bonhams' next auction in Philadelphia we saw this also quite original and also low-mileage 2CV. But this one is a different breed as it is the twin-engined Sahara version. Perhaps you are just as curious as us to see what this one will do at auction. Bonhams estimated it at US$ 40-60.000 (£25-37.000 or €31-46.000). What do you think this one will fetch? Give us your opinion by using the Comment Box below before October 7th and we'll award the one who comes closest (including buyer's charges) with a PostWarClassic badge plus a PostWarClassic T-shirt. Good luck bidding, although we will not hold any weird estimate against you! (photo courtesy Bonhams)

Update on October 11: The Sahara was sold for an incredible US $ 142.500 incl. premium (this converts to appr. 110.000 euro or 88.800 pounds!). Only Steve Scott came close with £51.500 (US $ 81.800).
