Summary
RM/Sotheby's had planned to auction 102 cars at the Ritz-Carlton on March 10, 2018. The predicted bad weather caused those responsible to reschedule and bring the auction forward to March 9, 2018. This obviously did little harm, because with a result of almost USD 28 million and 85 percent of vehicle lots sold, the auction still worked out. However, it was not necessarily the brands that are normally subscribed to this that provided surprises. This auction report analyzes the results and shows all the cars in the picture.
This article contains the following chapters
- Europeans dominated
- Strong pre-war share
- A quarter of youngtimers and neoclassics
- The slightly different buggy
- Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen with above-average results
- Super classics too, of course
- Vehicles offered and sold

RM/Sotheby's had planned to auction 102 cars at the Ritz-Carlton on March 10, 2018. The predicted bad weather caused those responsible to reschedule and bring the auction forward to March 9, 2018. This obviously did little harm, because with a result of almost USD 28 million and 85 percent of vehicle lots sold, the auction still paid off. Although some compromises had to be made compared to expectations, a good result was achieved with an average sales price per car of around USD 317,000. 19 Porsche, 10 Ferrari, 9 Mercedes-Benz, 6 Rolls-Royce and 5 Aston Martin accounted for almost half of all cars sold. There were also other European classics, leaving only a small proportion for American rarities such as Stutz, Duesenberg and Marmon.
