Summary

Live, but without an audience on site, Bonhams auctioned three dozen spare parts lots and a quintet of exceptional automobiles at New Bond Street in London on February 19, 2021. Highlights included a one-off Bugatti Type 57S and an Aston Martin DB4 GT. The prices did not always meet expectations, but the five cars sold still totaled EUR 7.5 million. All lots were knocked down. This auction report analyzes the results and shows the cars in pictures.

Preview (beginning of the article)

Bonhams organized a small but fine auction under the name "Legends of the Road" on 19 February 2021 on New Bond Street in London. On offer were almost three dozen lots with spare parts - from speedometers to leaf springs - for rare pre-war cars, including a Bugatti 57/57S gearbox, which found a new owner for no less than £24,000. The parts auction lasted around an hour before five cars went under the hammer. The announced Ferrari 275 GTS from 1965 had already been sold before the auction began (at an undisclosed price), so Malcolm Barber was only allowed to swing his hammer over four pre-war cars and a post-war Jaguar. After half an hour, this part of the auction was already over.
