Achieving an 87% sell-through rate and a total of $10.2-million, the auction was a resolute success.

For the fourth consecutive year the Earl of March and his team invited the members of the Goodwood Road Racing Club to the Members Meeting. Originally held until 1966 the members meeting came to an end when the circuit closed its doors due to the increasing speed of the race cars and the dated layout of the track. In 1998 finally the rebuilt circuit was reopened for historic racing with the known successful history of the Goodwood Revival Meeting, one of the best known and most visited classic car events in the world.

Supercars Assembled For Next Month’s Greenwich Concours Sale

Representing an impressively contrasting yet wholly complimentary aspect to a classic car auction, Bonhams has curated its annual Greenwich sale with a striking selection of modern supercars.  To be hosted the first weekend of June in conjunction with the Greenwich Concours d’Elegance, just 30 miles north of New York City, Bonhams will be offering several modern high-performance cars of distinction.

90 years ago the Mille Miglia blasted the first time though the Italian countryside

90 years ago one of the most demanding road races was introduced with the 1000 Miles of the MM through Italy. With very bad roads as one could see in samples at the anniversary exhibition in the Museo Mille Miglia the blast though the Italian countryside was a torture both for cars and the drivers and unlike today winning or even just completing the MM certainly was a proof of quality for the manufacturers of a rising car market. Winning on Sunday and selling on Monday was still true as the wealthy gentlemen driving these sports cars did want to have competitive and reliable material.

Gooding & Company Unearths a Pair of Mercedes-Benz 300 SLs Featuring Single-Family Provenance to be Sold at The Pebble Beach Auctions

Gooding & Company, reveals a pair of Mercedes-Benz 300 SLs, a Gullwing and a Roadster, that come from single family ownership.

Such is the case with these recently found cars.

International Bugatti Meeting Sardinia 2017

The annual Auto Italia magazine Italian Car Day at the Brooklands Museum in Surrey was held under rather grey skies, that brightened up as the day progressed, on Saturday 29 April. The museum complex is currently undergoing a major refurbishment, with the relocation of the main hangar and other building works, so it wasn’t looking at its best with a number of areas fenced off due to this, thus not providing the most elegant of backdrops to many of the car displays.

Tour Auto 2017 ... Leg 3 Haute-Goulaine - Nantes

C´est fini! The 26th Tour Auto is in the history books as another memorable edition of the annual tour through the Grande Nation. Over 2500 km on five days including 11 special stages and an additional 4 races at the circuits of Le Mans, Val de Vienne, Albi and Pau made this one of the longest and most demanding editions for the cars and crews in recent history of the TAO. 242 teams started on Tuesday morning from the Grand Palais in Paris for the cruelling chase through the French country side and not few got a few scars on their alloy, steel or GFK body.

Ultra Rare Carrera Porsches Headline Bonhams Festival of Speed Sale

Since the beginning of the motorization an automobile was much more than just a machine bringing its passengers from one point to another, it was always an expression of the lifestyle of the owner and a status symbol, be it because of its speed or its design. Soon after Bertha Benz undertook the first tour with the Benz Patent Motorwagen the first races were introduced to compare drivers and cars in reliability and speed and it was just a question of time when they were competing in design as well.

Prestige & Rarity - Artcurial's Befitting Monaco Sale

The sale takes place during Ferrari’s 70th anniversary year, an extraordinary achievement in automotive history, and a major milestone in the marque’s rich heritage that will hold the attention of the global motoring community throughout 2017.

La Vie en Bleu & La Vita Rossa, Prescott Speed Hill Climb

With more than 200,000 visitors in the past year the Techno-Classica Essen is not only the classic fair with the most visitors worldwide but documents also the permanent increasing economic power of the vintage-car- and connoisseur-vehicle-scene with its popularity. The success of the Techno-Classica Essen is unattained till today and is based on the principle of the organiser S.I.H.A. to present the visitors from more than 40 nations a selection from the best of all fields of the classic hobby.

More of half of this year’s Tour Auto is driven. Today was the third day leading from Nantes to Limoges with another 2 timed special stages in the countryside and the visit to the race track in Val de Vienne. For the last time the competition class 3 lead the way early in the morning when just after a glorious sunrise the cars left the castle yard at Chateau de Goulaine where they spent the night out of the sight of the public as this was one of the few occasions where the paddock were not accessible for spectators.

The Blancpain race series for GT3 cars was at the Paul Ricard circuit in the South of France, for the 1000kms race on the Saturday evening running from 18.00 into darkness, finishing around midnight. The main race was supported by two races each for the GT Sports Club series for gentlemen drivers, two rounds of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo series, together with four demonstration periods for the Ultracar & GT1 Sports Club members, whose cars were on display in the paddock.

Triad of Rare Italian-Coachbuilt Cars Added to Bonhams’ Quail Lodge Auction

German motor cars proved particularly popular today, with half of the top ten lots coming from the Mercedes and Porsche marques. The star of the show was the perennially popular 1958 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster, which achieved an astonishing €1,127,000 against a pre-sale estimate of €600,000-800,000. After a lengthy duel between two keen bidders, the hammer finally fell to an international buyer on the phone to a tremendous round of applause.

Bonhams is delighted to make another exciting announcement about this summer’s forthcoming collector car auction: the addition of three rare and exquisite automobiles bodied by three famed Torinese coachbuilders.

Ferrari and RM Sotheby’s set Stage for Most Significant Single-Marque Sale in Auction History

Million Euro Castle-Find Mercedes Leads the Pack at Bonhams Spa Classic Sale

On Friday 30 June, Bonhams will be celebrating all things fast at its Goodwood Festival of Speed sale. Ten Porsches are set to appear on the rostrum, with two particularly rare and significant examples leading the pack. Whilst the 356 Speedster has quite rightly become one of Porsche's most desirable models, the 1957 Porsche 356A Carrera Speedster GS/GT (£900,000-1,000,000) is in a league of its own.

In the roaring twenties and the flamboyant years before WWII there were a lot of marques in the top market and international racing scene that did not make it into the times of mass production after the war. Some of them disappeared into the history books, others did leave such an impression that their name was revitalized some time later so when looking at today´s Bugatti Chiron as the status symbol of the Volkswagen group one is reminded at the glorious history of the cars from Molsheim.

The exclusive event has taken place from 5 to 9 May in Tuscany. It is based in Forte dei Marmi from where the cars set off to explore this wonderful region. Ferrari conceived the event in order to bring its customers from all over the world to famous places in Italy, promoting Italian excellence in art, history, and gastronomy together with local specialities.

The Prescott Speed Hill Climb, a fraction over a kilometre in length, near the village of Gotherington in Gloucestershire, home of the Bugatti Owners’ Club, hosted the annual La Vie en Bleu meeting incorporating La Vita Rossa, which they introduced in 2016. This was very apt in 2017, Ferrari’s 70th anniversary year, and also the 50th anniversary of the Ferrari Owners’ Club in the UK.

Tour Auto 2017 ... Leg 2 Saint-Malo – Nantes

French Pre-War Greats Shine and Records are set  at RM Sotheby’s Villa Erba Sale

Great Britain is very well known both for traditionalism and sportsmanship and few things combine these two key virtues just as vintage motorsport. Like Silverstone became the home of British Motorsport over the last decades it is undoubtedly Goodwood for historics. With the two major events in early summer and autumn both the hill climb in front of Goodwood house as well as the races at the motor circuit attract more people than any other classic event and might be only second to the actual British GP.

Thirty years have passed since the official presentation of the F40, which took place on 21 July 1987 at the Civic Centre in Maranello, now home to the Ferrari Museum. Created to celebrate the company’s 40th anniversary, it was the last car to carry the founder’s “signature”. It was a definitive car, the ultimate expression of the technology thus far developed by the Prancing Horse, but at the same time it went back to Ferrari’s roots when racing cars were also road vehicles.

Leading the pack, RM Sotheby’s is delighted to present one of the 161 original road-going GT2s for public sale. This 1996 Porsche 911 GT2 was delivered new to Germany, where it remained with its original private owner for nearly two decades, covering just over 18,000 km. Now residing in the UK, it is offered in London with a pre-sale estimate of £675.000 - £750.000, and in stealthy black over black.

RM Sotheby’s Gathers Zuffenhausen’s Greatest Hits of the Nineties for London Sale

After visiting the Laguna Seca Pre-Reunion the weekend the Monterey Classic Car Week finally is here with a slow start as Monday still is the only day nobody set up a show. So the first visitors and cars arrived in Monterey to set up their base in the various hotels or rented houses and cars are stored and prepared for the week to come. This is the day to visit the open house at Canepa Motorsports a few miles north.

Canepa Motorsports ... a Museum above the Workshop

After spending the day at the first Concours yesterday the Wednesday heated up with countless opportunities to spend the day. Beside the start of the major auction previews both in Carmel with the ladies concours and at Pacific Grove with the little car show there were numerous places to be and one had to be very selective with his time. We started early in the morning with the auction preview of the official auction house of the Pebble Beach Concours, Gooding & Company.

RM Sotheby’s is delighted to announce that it has achieved a remarkable 92.5 percent sell-through rate and €63,068,110 in sales at its single-marque Ferrari – Leggenda e Passione auction, in partnership with Ferrari.

The success of the sale is a fitting tribute to help celebrate Ferrari’s 70th anniversary year.

Rally marking the 55th anniversary of the 250 GTO arrives at Maranello

The 250 GTO rally has arrived at Maranello. Fifty-five years down the line this venerable road and racing car is still one of the most famous and admired Ferraris of all time. Over the last week 20 specimens of the 36 built since 1962, drove through Tuscany. Based in Florence, the 250 GTOs crossed the hills of Chianti and, in honour of a rich history of sports victories, showed off their powers at the Mugello circuit.

Museu do Caramulo – Ferrari 70 Anos de Paixao Motorizada

First a little history revision on the Caramulo museum - it is situated in the spa town of the same name, high in the hills of the Caramulo mountain range, about 120kms south east of Porto in Portugal. The art and car museum was the brainchild of the brothers Abel and Joao Lacerda, who loved their town and wanted to give it something that would attract visitors, and keep it alive, after the sanatorium that had been its main source of employment and income closed in the early fifties.

The car is undoubtedly one of the most distinctive and beautiful of all time, and was a crowd-pleaser over the entire weekend.

Auto e Moto d’Epoca ... the largest and best attended classic car show in Italy

2017 Mille Miglia Provisional Entry List Version 7

One day after the convoy left the French Capitol the second leg of this year’s Tour Auto led from yesterday’s finish Saint-Malo to the suburbs of Nantes. Apparently Saint-Malo was a first on the map of the annual classic and so not just the finish of yesterday’s leg but also the first part of todays was a refreshing new to the tour.




The 34th annual Auto e Moto d’Epoca show was held a Padova’s Fiera exhibition complex over the weekend of 26-29 October, with a premium rate entry fee on the first day, the Thursday, enabling visitors who wanted to avoid the crowds, and also get the pick of offerings in the sales areas, the opportunity to do so. The 2016 edition attracted over 100,000 visitors, so it can be seen that the show is magnet for car and motorcycle enthusiasts, not only from Italy and the rest of mainland Europe, but from as far afield as Japan and the USA. It is the largest and best attended classic car show in Italy, and possibly even the best attended show in Europe.

For the fourth and the second to last day the cars were released early in the morning for a very long day on the French country roads with another late afternoon track visit at the Albi circuit.

As mentioned yesterday the fourth day traditionally is the day when the race groups are switching their order as the regularity is leading the convoy for the last two days rather than running at the back.

The Regent Street Motor Show ... attracts somewhere in the order of 400,000 visitors during the course of the day

The show is the largest free-to-view show in the UK, and regularly attracts somewhere in the order of 400,000 visitors during the course of the day.

After leaving the Grand Palais at dawn the Tour Auto Optic 2ooo field headed for Château de Neuville where the official start of the 26th event was given.

This was a first for the Tour and some thousands of Breton fans of historic cars flocked to the parc fermé until night fell.

Auto Italia Italian Car Day

Milano AutoClassica ... the majority of the car displays were the province of classic dealers

The Principality of Monaco is one of the most glamorous places in the world, complete with casino, chic neighbourhoods, elegant princesses and high profile motoring events. It was here that the legendary Monte Carlo Rally began in 1911. Today it showcases the best historic sporting machines. Monaco also provides a stunning backdrop for the Formula 1 Grand Prix.

In 2016 the Milano AutoClassica show hosted the RM Sotheby’s DueMila Ruote auction, but for the 7th running of the show in this year there was no auction, so there was a smaller overall show area, which occupied halls 18 and 22 of the Milano Rho Fiera exhibition complex. On the external apron between the halls there were numerous private vendor cars for sale, whilst adjacent to hall 18 was the classic circuit arena, a 1.4kms track, which saw activity from a wide variety of classes of cars throughout the weekend.

RM Sotheby’s is delighted to announce recent entries for its upcoming Santa Monica sale, 24 June at California’s historic Barker Hangar. Set to lift the gavel on more than 170 desirable motor cars and select memorabilia, the one-day sale presents the best of SoCal car culture.

Highlights among recent entries for the exclusive event are led by a genuine, numbers-matching 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider by Scaglietti, chassis no. 1503 GT. One of the most desirable examples of the ultimate open Ferrari of its era, 1503 GT is offered from nearly two decades of single ownership, having seldom been shown over this time. Sporting a beautifully maintained restoration and with fascinating history, it is ready for enjoyment on the show field or the vintage rally circuit (Est. €7,500,000 - €9,500,000).

Ferrari Museo Enzo Ferrari ... “Driving With The Stars”

RM Sotheby’s is delighted to announce that it will auction 13 of the most iconic road-going Ferraris as part of its flagship Monterey sale, 18-19 August, during the famed Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance motoring week. Spanning over 50 years of Ferrari’s rich heritage, all cars boast low-mileage, carefully maintained status, coming directly from a single-owner collection.

Iconic motor cars from pre-War Classics through today’s most sought-after hypercars drove RM Sotheby’s third Manhattan sale, entitled ICONS, to a $45.5 million total tonight at Sotheby’s York Ave headquarters, with 84 percent of all lots sold. The total was led by 11 individual million-dollar-plus results and saw strong prices for exceptional historic racers and high performance models of the 1990s, 2000s, and today.

Friday night in Monterey, California, RM Sotheby’s sold the legendary 1956 Aston Martin DBR1, chassis no. 1 (DBR1/1) for $22,550,000 (est. in excess of $20,000,000), setting a world record not only for an Aston Martin, but for any British automobile at auction. The historic price comes just a year after the benchmark was established at the equivalent sale in 2016 with the $21,800,000 1955 Jaguar D-Type. Two bidders competed for tonight’s Aston Martin, in a contest that lasted nearly seven minutes, before a private collector bidding by telephone was successful.

The Most Important Aston Martin Ever Produced Comes to RM Sotheby’s Monterey Sale

It is September and the classic car calendar is reaching its autumn highlights. All the weekends of the first proper autumn month will be flooded with events in Europe ranging from several concours to the last race meetings or hill climbs using the last snow free days in the mountains.  Snow certainly never was a theme when the Salon Privé opened its doors on the first September weekend to start a busy month with that British Contours marathon around London.

Finally the Monterey Car Week officially started with the first event, the Concours-on-the-Avenue on the Ocean Drive at Carmel-by-the-Sea. First in the morning we headed to the Quail Lodge for the annual start of the Quail Rally brought together by Sir Michael Kadoorie for his close friends ...
After the cars left into the typical foggy morning at the peninsula the first cars arrived at the Ocean Drive in Carmel for the annual Concours on the Avenue. Many years ago the free show started as a two-day event but over the time it became a one-day show on Tuesday.

The new 812 Superfast stars on the Ferrari stand

The current exhibition at the Museo Enzo Ferrari in Modena is “Driving With The Stars”, celebrating Ferrari’s 70th anniversary with an eclectic display of Ferraris, either of the type or the actual car, that have been owned by famous personalities, or that have featured in films or television series. With a seventy year history of producing some of the world’s most desirable automobiles, not only in terms of elegance and performance, but also rarity, it is unsurprising that there have been numerous well known people from many diverse genres, including sportsmen, stars of the stage and screen, musicians, captains of industry, through to politicians and royalty.

Concours of Elegance ... Part two of the early September Concours marathon in London

The Quail Rally & Concours on the Avenue 2017

With so many exemplary cars on offer, the 1995 McLaren F1 nonetheless took center stage and attracted people from around the world who came to make and witness history. With the auction tent filled to capacity and the audience spilling onto the lawns, spectators, journalists and bidders alike applauded as the single owner supercar zoomed onto the stage. After a brisk start in bidding between four bidders that quickly rose to $14-million.

Ferrari kicks off its 70th anniversary with the world premiere of its most powerful production car yet, the 800-cv 812 Superfast. The unveiling of this flagship V12 berlinetta is particularly significant, as Ferrari’s noble V12 heritage has its roots in the founding of the company, 70 years ago this year, and Ferrari remains to this day the only manufacturer to have continuously produced sports cars with 12-cylinder engines throughout that time.

Trio of Classic Ferrari Models to Feature at Bonhams’ Quail Lodge Auction

The star of Friday’s auction, the 1970 Porsche 917K, became the most valuable Porsche ever sold at auction with a realized price of $14,080,000. The price achieved broke the previous Porsche record held by Gooding & Company for the sale of a 1982 Porsche 956 (sold for $10,120,000 in 2015). The star of Saturday’s auction, the 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/C, also set a new world auction record for the model when it garnered $14,520,000 - the highest price achieved for the celebrated marque across all auction houses this week.

“This Mercedes-Benz S Barker Tourer is a combination of speed, style and power,” said Concours Chairman Sandra Button. “Somehow these three elements—along with those fantastic torpedo running boards—become the very definition of elegance.”

Ferrari 70th Anniversary Concours Maranello

"We are thrilled to present this extremely desirable Ferrari at our Pebble Beach Auctions, as great 275 GTB/Cs rarely come up for sale. These are exciting purpose-built competition cars from Ferrari's golden age, and they are brilliant to drive – as fast and visceral as any thoroughbred racing car of the era, yet completely user-friendly and perfectly suited for the open road." says David Brynan, Senior Specialist at Gooding & Company.

After spending the day at the first Concours yesterday the Wednesday heated up with countless opportunities to spend the day. Beside the start of the major auction previews both in Carmel with the ladies concours and at Pacific Grove with the little car show there were numerous places to be and one had to be very selective with his time. We started early in the morning with the auction preview of the official auction house of the Pebble Beach Concours, Gooding & Company.

Since the beginning of the motorization an automobile was much more than just a machine bringing its passengers from one point to another, it was always an expression of the lifestyle of the owner and a status symbol, be it because of its speed or its design. Soon after Bertha Benz undertook the first tour with the Benz Patent Motorwagen the first races were introduced to compare drivers and cars in reliability and speed and it was just a question of time when they were competing in design as well.

Few passes in the Alps have a name like the Grossglockner at the highest mountain of the Austrian Alp region. Built in the economy crises to vitalize the employment market and to give the transport of goods between Kärnten and the Salzburger Land a boost the picturesque mountain road soon became a touristic landmark and right from the beginning the steep way up the hill became a challenge for the motorists before WWII. But not only the families with their small cars but also the elite of the international racing scene in their bolides took the Grossglockner early on. Early in the 1930s the hill climb was as popular as the GP sport and races like at the Klausenpass attracted masses one could barely imagine today.

Tonight in Maranello, Italy, at the historic Pista di Fiorano during the Ferrari's 70th anniversary celebrations, a 2017 LaFerrari Aperta, the Italian marque’s ultimate hypercar, set a record for a 21st Century car when it sold for €8.3 million at the RM Sotheby’s Leggenda E Passione sale.

Founded 11 years ago the Classic Days soon became the most popular event in Germany and so it is neither a surprise that they won the annual price for the best national classic car event..

Following two days of viewing in the Riviera sunshine, Artcurial Motorcar’s first biennial collectors’ car sale took place on 2 July 2017 at the Grimaldi Forum, in the heart of Monaco.

Preston Henn, one of America’s most colourful Ferrari characters passed away on 30 April 2017 at the age of 86. He founded his famous T-Bird Swap Shop in Fort Lauderdale in 1963, which initially was a drive-in movie theatre, and proved to be a huge success for him, making him a fortune, but he still went there every day at the crack of dawn.
