Preview (beginning of the article)

Although Bonhams stuck to the "live format", the differences between the 2020 and 2021 Scottsdale auctions were significant due to the pandemic. While the British auction house was able to offer 108 cars in 2020, the figure for 2021 was only 37, with an average age of 54 years (previous year: 58 years). While 68% were still sold without a reserve price in 2020 , the willingness to take risks fell in 2021, as only a good quarter were offered "no reserve". Despite this, the Bonhams team did well, as 78% of cars were sold (2020: 82%) and on average, the highest bids were 85% of the median estimate (2020: 72%).
