Summary

Bonhams also held an auction for the first time during the Audrain Concours week in the eastern USA. 41 vehicles went under the hammer, 33 of which were successfully sold. The highest prices were achieved by a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, followed by a Shelby Cobra 260 and a Ferrari Daytona, but surprises were provided above all by neo-classics and an extensively modified MG TC. This auction review analyzes the mood and results of the auction and shows the cars in pictures.

At the premiere, 41 vehicles, including a carriage, came under the hammer with a value of USD 12.6 million. A total of 33 vehicles, or 80 percent, were sold. On average, each car realized USD 277,261 (EUR 238,444, CHF 257,852), with total sales amounting to USD 9.15 million. A good success for a new auction. The average age of the 41 vehicles on offer was 59.2 years, with the oldest item being a Brewster Park Drag Coach from 1892, which sold for USD 168,000, slightly below expectations.
