The Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum in Philadelphia is certainly a fitting setting for a classic car auction, and so Bonhams returned to the widely renowned collection on October 2, 2017 to bring 66 cars under the hammer, valued at around USD 5 million. 64% of the cars were offered without a reserve price. In total, 81% of the lots were sold, resulting in total sales of just over USD 3 million (including surcharges/commissions). The most expensive car in the auction is a 1913 Rolls-Royce 40/50 HP Silver Ghost "London-to-Edinburgh" Sports Tourer, one of a total of 188 London-Edinburgh Silver Ghosts. This type became famous because at the beginning of the 20th century it was possible to cover the distance from London to the Scottish city in the north in the same gear - over 1200 kilometers.
