Preview (beginning of the article)

The current coronavirus situation allowed the Bonhams auction on New Bond Street in London to take place on May 19, 2021 with a live audience who were able to bid on 26 exquisite vehicles. The cars were collectively worth around £4.74 million and were on average 60 years old. 31 percent of the vehicles were offered without a reserve price. 81 percent of the cars were sold, with an average bid of 86 percent of the median estimate. A total of £ 194,377 was paid for each lot knocked down, and the cars realized a total of £ 4.081 million. A good two thirds of the cars on offer came from British manufacturers, with Aston Martin being over-represented with 11 cars. The range consisted exclusively of sports cars from the 1960s to 1980s, plus a 1 1/2 Litre International from 1930, which sold for a relatively modest £126,500.
