Preview (beginning of the article)
On January 25, 2025 at Bonhams at the Westin Kierland Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, 77 vehicle lots, including two scooters, two motorcycles and a three-wheeler (Ape) worth USD 17.74 million, went under the hammer alongside a number of automobiles. 60% of the vehicles were offered without a reserve price. Despite this, the sales rate only leveled off at 68%. Four cars had already been withdrawn before the auction. Online bidding was not possible for the expensive lots. Bad omens? With 15 Porsches, 10 Rolls-Royces, eight Mercedes-Benz and five Jaguars, European brands dominated the attractively presented offer. No American brand was represented with more than one car.
