Summary

The fact that the Bonhams auction on Bond Street is a rather exclusive affair was evident from the fact that only 35 cars were on offer on December 7, 2019. On average, however, each of these cars was expected to cost £446,000. This target was achieved, but less than a third of the cars found a new owner. Among them was one of nine Aston Martin DB4 GT Lightweight, a 1961 model that sold for almost €3 million. All other cars sold were younger. This auction report analyzes the results and shows all the cars in the picture.

This article contains the following chapters

Preview (beginning of the article)

Every year in December, Bonhams invites customers to its beautiful headquarters on New Bond Street to auction off some exclusive cars just before the turn of the year. On December 7, 2019, it was that time again on Saturday afternoon and the 35 vehicles on offer certainly made collectors' mouths water. After around an hour and a half, the show was over. Almost half of what was on offer was dominated by two car brands: Ferrari and Aston Martin with eight and seven sports cars respectively. Four Porsches and three Mercedes-Benzes and Bentleys completed the larger contingents. Really exotic brands were missing, unless you count Auburn or FMR/Messerschmitt in this category.
