Dorotheum Classic Expo Salzburg 2020 - high sales rate, but no luck with the expensive cars
Summary
As every year, Dorotheum auctioned 79 lots at the Classic Expo in Salzburg on October 17, 2020. In addition to 73 automobiles, 4 motorcycles/carriages, a tractor and a miniature car also went under the hammer. The total volume was estimated at EUR 4.43 million, but EUR 2.71 million was realized, which was mainly due to the fact that the two most expensive vehicles did not find new owners. Overall, however, 95% of the vehicles were sold, with an average bid of 92% of the median estimate. Some cars achieved prices well above expectations, while others were comparatively cheap. This auction article analyzes the results and shows many of the cars in pictures.

In addition to 73 automobiles, 4 motorcycles/carriages, a tractor and a miniature car also went under the hammer. The total volume was estimated at EUR 4.43 million. As always, the auction took place at the trade fair and attracted a large audience. The 79 vehicles came from 34 brands and were almost 54 years old on average. 20 percent of the two- to four-wheeled means of transport were from the pre-war period, while two cars were used vehicles as they were only newly registered in 2018. The sixties, seventies and eighties were particularly well represented.
