Summary

On December 4, 2021, Bonhams held its annual end-of-year auction at its headquarters on New Bond Street in London. On offer were 32 vehicles, including two Ducati motorcycles. The offerings, worth £5.6 million, were diverse and on average 47 years old. Very young classics with low mileage were particularly brilliant, but some pre-war cars also exceeded expectations. Super classics had a harder time in some cases. With a sales rate of 88 percent and top bids averaging 98 percent of the average estimate, Bonhams could certainly be satisfied. This auction report analyzes the results and shows all the vehicles in the picture.

Preview (beginning of the article)

The end-of-year auction on Bonhams' New Bond Street has become a cherished tradition. On December 4, 2021, it was that time again. 32 classic bikes, two of which were newer Ducati motorcycles, with an average age of 47 years came under the hammer at Bonhams headquarters. Sholto Gilbertson acted as auctioneer. The auction lasted around 2 3/4 hours, during which around two dozen automobiles also changed hands. The total value of the vehicles was estimated at £5.6 million, and around half of the cars were offered without a reserve price. Some of the very young cars on offer made a good showing. The buyer was prepared to invest £ 333,500 (EUR 390,195, CHF 403,535) for a Porsche 997 Sport Classic from 2010 with low mileage. The highest bid was 166 percent of the median estimate.
