On July 25, 2020, Bonhams auctioned 112 cars, including a tractor and a motorhome, in addition to several motorcycles and automobilia in Bicester. In contrast to other Bonhams auctions, the owners/consignors at Bicester auctions declared the condition and completeness of their vehicles themselves. The auction itself took place online without an audience. For a purely online auction, the sales rate of 64 percent was certainly quite good. On average, the highest bids were around 79% of the average estimated value, which is also not a bad figure. Nevertheless, only 44% of the expected turnover was realized with the vehicles sold, which was certainly due to the fact that more expensive vehicles in particular struggled to reach the required minimum price.
