The success of the world's most impressive show of classic automobiles justifies the note from the headline: no more "bets" - who is late stays outside. The amount of visitors was overwhelming, same as the results at the auctions. RM Auctions catalog for the traditional auction in Monterey included over 150 classic cars. At the end of the auction $ 80 million in sales were recorded. A BMW 507 roadster achieved 1,072,500 U.S. dollars, a Porsche 911 S "Steve McQueen" it to $ 1,375,000 and a Mercedes-Benz 540 K Special Roadster even reached 9.680.000 U.S. dollar.

"The prices achieved reflect the dynamics of the market. There is currently great interest in classic cars invest. Their value preservation and appreciation potential are very good alternative to 'traditional' investments such as real estate or stocks," says Dr. Michael mandate, managing partner of the CF MIRBACH GmbH & Co. KG.

The souvenir of one of the auction for MIRBACH is a nearly unused Ferrari 512 BB with 5.387 original kilometers. It was registered in Germany until the year 2000.

A further highlight was the 61st Concours d'Elegance. The first prize took the couple Mullin for a perfect constructed Voisin C-25 Aerodyne, built in 1934. He also finished first place in the category "European Classic" from 1932 to 1937.
It narrowly defeated the Austro-Daimler 635 Armbruster Sport "Bergmeister" of Dr. Wolfgang Porsche, which ended second place.

"To experience so many well-prepared classic cars in a relatively small space - that's the incomparable charm of Pebble Beach. If one can inspect 22 different Ferrari 250 GTO in one day, it is probably the only opportunity in the year” Michael Mandat says. In 356 days he will be back.

“The clientel is similar, the brand is the same – so what should oppose a partnership with the largest Porsche Centre in Bavaria?”

Dr. Michael Mandat, managing partner of C.F. Mirbach GmbH & Co. KG in Riedering, agrees with Jürgen Niemuth, CEO of Porsche Munich, that the best Porsches of MIRBACH will in future be offered for sale in Munich. “Both our customers as well as the occasional visitor of the Porsche Center meet at a level of expertise by which all questions can be answered” emphasizes Niemuth the self-understanding of the two companies. Alfons Woppert, an acknowledged expert for elderly Porsche at the Porsche Center, takes care that all who are interested in the classic cars from Stuttgart are well informed and advised. All cars there are fit for fun on the road and that quality creates confidence – both between MIRBACH and the Porsche Center Munich as well as between their customers.

A detailed description of this cooperation will be published soon in the house magazine of the Porsche Center “Times”.

At the Classic Days around the picturesque Schloss Dyck near Neuss on 6th - 7th of August hundreds of the automotive aristocracy from Germany, England and the Benelux countries drove up. Partly, to confront each other in a beauty and originality competition, but partly also to introduce oneself on a small race circuit with an increased speed to the sports-oriented audience.



The C.F. MIRBACH GmbH & Co. KG has been present with an Mercedes-Benz 290 Ahrens Special Roadster: a striking beauty, carefully restored and in perfect condition. Jurors placed this classic car – one of three still existing – which was built in 1934 at Mercedes in Mannheim, third in the competition. “The result reflects my claim, to present our clients only high-quality cars – whatever its price class is” remarked Dr. Michael Mandat, CEO of C.F. Mirbach GmbH & Co. KG.
At the company`s headquarters in the Bavarian Riedering await about 100 vintage cars - cars that inspire - at all price classes their new owners.

Every year, in the middle of August, in California's Pebble Beach a spectacular Concours d'Elegance takes place. Instead of golf buggies, which usually pass over the well kept and close-cropped grass along the Pacific coast, heavyweight classic limousines and sports cars from all eras occupy the fairways and stop the playing with the little white ball for a weekend. This year - from 17 - to 21 August – for the 61st time. No other Concours d'Elegance for historic cars has a similar role. Cars that are considered by the local jury with a certificate, are ennobled for all times and obtain at auctions or in direct sale the best prices.



The range of C.F. MIRBACH GmbH & Co. KG as well benefits from this splendor. Two cars with best Pebble Beach experience: the Mercedes-Benz 290 Special Roadster, built in 1934 was considered by the judges in the 1990s as the best in its class. And the Delahaye 235 MS Henri Chapron Cabriolet had passed in 2006 the severe look of the experts. He was also declared to be the best in its class.

"Nowhere else in the scene of the historic cars most significant exhibits from around the world come together, and nowhere so much at once" says Dr. Michael Mandat, managing partner of C.F. MIRBACH GmbH & Co. KG.

The revival of the legendary Solitude race track just outside of Stuttgart is not only by the protagonists raised  to the highlight of Baden Wuerttemberg automobile summer 2011. 19,000 visitors witnessed the fascinating parade of automotive legends and their now in honor grayed chauffeurs. Ferrari, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Mercedes, BMW and - above all - Porsche were in the center of attention of the audience last weekend. The former Grand Prix circuit delivered the attending classic car enthusiasts a touch of racing, as it was hold in the days of Earl Trips, Phil Hill and his associates.

The C.F. MIRBACH GmbH & Co. KG has made a significant contribution to the integrity of the richly varied ensemble, which had gathered in the paddock and in the vicinity of the start and finish in order to present themselves to the public in various parades around the course. An original Porsche 356 Speedster, a Porsche 910 and a Abarth race car respresented the MIRBACH "colors" and secured applause. Dr. Michael Mandat, managing partner of the company, was fascinated off the track and the event as well: "There is probably no better opportunity to present sports cars on their ancestral land.” MIRBACH will present itself in the future more frequently in a sporty atmosphere and will adjust their portfolio as a dealership to this trend. "The greatest joy one feels when driving," said Mandat, and adds: "If a historic race track is left to its original purpose, it is certainly a great day for all fans of motor racing with odltimers and at the same time a duty to do."

On the first weekend in August MIRBACH will be present at the Classic Days of Schloss Dyck.

With 14 911 and two 928 the Porsche Club Kärnten arrived at MIRBACH headquarters in Riedering. A milestone in the club´s excursion to Berchtesgaden. Focus of the Porsche experts was initially on the changes of ownership of the C.F. MIRBACH GmbH & Co. KG. Gottfried Zach, Sebastian Hartmann and Peter Höllbauer delivered answers to all questions:

"No - the new company with a known name has nothing to do with the preowner."
"But - part of the business model is unchanged - details are highly upgraded."
"It's true - the rustic ambience of the company's headquarters will be preserved."

The Austrian guests "refueled" with coffee and cake before the onward journey, and inquired details about the newly installed MIRBACH test for classic cars, before they can turn into the marketing process. The comprehensive test procedure impressed the guests who had during their visit not eyes for the current Porsche MIRBACH portfolio. Club Präsident Hannes Dobernig thanked MIRBACH in the name of the club and held out the prospect for a coming visit of his Porsche enthusiasts. Gottfried Zach: "You are all welcomed at any time - have a good ride!"

To help socially disadvantaged children through sport out of trouble - that's the goal of the association, which was launched in 1997 by the ex-tennis pro Charly Steeb, together with his colleagues, Hans-D. Cleven and Stefan Schaffelhuber.

Each year, the nonprofit association organizes a golf tournament in favor of the objective. 210,000 euros were raised at the end of the charity golf tournament from July 1st until 3rd under the sponsorship of Antenne Bayern in the golf paradise of Bad Griesbach. Dr. Michael mandate, CEO of C.F. MIRBACH GmbH & Co.KG is impressed by the commitment of the 350 guests: "To escort children early by sporting activities in a socially acceptable way - that has motivated me to support. The Clean Winners has created a great win-win situation. Therefore we enjoy very much to encourage these activities.“

Two days before the completion of its 100th year of life over 200 Paul Pietsch admirers gathered together on June 20th to celebrate the great day of the founder of "auto motor und sport". The publishers and editors of "auto motor und sport" together with the "Motor Klassik" invited for Paul Pietsch Classic 2011. A rally for the jubilee, who has devoted his life's passion for automobile and its evolution.

Start in Freiburg and then in two stages and well over 420 kilometers over Offenburg to the finish in Stuttgart. From A to Z in the footsteps of Paul Pietsch, who founded the publishing house in 1946 in Freiburg. Due to the dynamic upward trend of the first print title "Das Auto" in 1950 he was forced to move to Stuttgart to ensure further expansion of the technical and logistical requirements. "Das Auto" had a new layout as well as a new title under which it operates until today: "auto motor und sport". For lovers of classic cars has been the flagship title of "Motor Klassik" set aside. To "Motor Klassik" the C.F. MIRBACH GmbH & Co. KG is close and open to due to the thematic neighborhood - cars that inspire.

"Like our customers we feel clearly the need to maintain and continue values which have been produced in our country. We do it with classic cars, which we provide to the growing market. "Motor Klassik" accompanies the events with important information, service and a bag full of emotion that constitute the common denominator." Dr. Michael Mandat, CEO of MIRBACH committed themselves to tangible use of classic automobiles: "Cars stay young if they are driven and challenged in accordance with their character." Together with co-driver Lutz Schilling Mandat made his debut on his green Porsche 911 starting with number 67. On reliability tests it counts to exactly reach to a hundredth of a second the goal of a special stage. The team - without the use of electronic aids - finished the trip through the beautiful "Ländle" of Paul Pietsch finally at 45th place.

The C.F. MIRBACH GmbH & Co. KG leaves the second location in the Jenfelder Kuehnstraße in Hamburg after only two years. Until further notice trade with classic cars will be alone done from the Bavarian headquarters near Rosenheim.

"The building and location are not appropriate to the business and is the reason for the temporary withdrawal from Hamburg" said Dr. Michael Mandat, 39, CEO of MIRBACH.
According to initial of the owner the overdue modernization of the building and outside grounds would have extensively involved the tenant. "We do not want to afford us these costs, especially since business would be already lame during a construction phase" explains Mandat his decision. The three employees are also affected. Each already received an offer to move to the corporate headquarters in Bavaria.

"Hamburg is a well-developed market for our industry, and I will have with my management an alert eye on the Hanseatic city. But the Kuehnstraße is not the focus of my interest" signals Mandat.
