Preview (beginning of the article)

On the occasion of the 11th Hampton Court Palace Concours of Elegance, Gooding & Co also auctioned 44 vehicles, including three motorcycles, and three engines on the afternoon of September 1, 2023. A quarter of the lots were offered without a reserve price. On average, the vehicles were 66 years old and valued at £ 520,000. 23 vehicles (sales rate 52 percent) were sold for a total of £ 9.6 million. On average, buyers paid almost £ 420,000 per vehicle. The fact that the average bid was only 68% of the estimated value, together with the relatively low sales rate, shows that the desire to buy was not exactly huge in London at the beginning of September, which was also evident from the relatively large number of empty seats at the auction.
