Summary

On March 10, 2017, Gooding & Co hosted its annual auction on Amelia Island. 88 vehicles worth around USD 63 million were up for grabs, and with an average age of around 41 years, the auction was certainly aimed at fans of more modern classics, although not all of them were entirely convincing. With a sales rate of 78% and over 30 million, Gooding was probably able to make up for the unsold Jaguar XKSS. This auction report analyzes the results and shows the results in a sortable table.

Preview (beginning of the article)

On March 10, 2017, Gooding & Co hosted its annual auction on Amelia Island. 88 vehicles with a value of around USD 63 million were up for grabs, and with an average age of around 41 years, the auction was certainly aimed at fans of more modern classics, with only four cars dating from before the Second World War. With 25 cars, the Porsche brand delivered the largest contingent of cars. Only Ferrari, with 14 cars, can still boast cars of a similar size, while the other brands are each represented with a handful or fewer cars. In terms of sales rates, the cars from Maranello fared better than those from Zuffenhausen, with 71% of Ferrari sports cars finding new owners, but only 68% of Porsche vehicles.
