For many years now, the Bonhams auction has been a fixed item on the program of the annual Zoute Grand Prix, which also includes a major Concours d'Elégance, in Knokke-Heist (Belgium). On October 9, 2022 (Sunday afternoon), Bonhams then auctioned 74 cars, some motorcycles and automobiles as part of a sales event that lasted around four and a half hours. The vehicles had been estimated in advance at around EUR 28.7 million. 59 percent of the cars - an unusually high proportion for Europe - were offered without a reserve price, apparently because the Belgian and international bidders were sure to be interested.
