Summary
On 22 January 2020, RM/Sotheby's organized an auction with a limited on-site audience at the Otto Car Club in Scottsdale. 84 vehicles, including a mockup, went under the hammer and were expected to sell for an average of over half a million USD. 82% of the vehicle lots were sold, which was certainly helped by a high proportion of offers without a minimum selling price (48%). Some cars that might not have been on the radar, such as a 1990 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL station wagon or a BMW M3 Evo, provided some surprises. The most expensive, however, were favorites from Jaguar, Bugatti, McLaren and Ferrari. This auction article analyzes the results and shows all the vehicles in pictures.

Preview (beginning of the article)
Of the three major international auction houses, RM/Sotheby's stuck most closely to last year's format. The auction was held on January 22, 2021 with a (reduced, mask-wearing) audience on site, but only on one day. The fact that one day was enough can be explained by the much more manageable offer of 84 vehicles (and a few automobilia) compared to last year. However, anyone who thought that the offer would be less attractive and valuable due to the coronavirus is mistaken. In fact, at 50 years old, the 84 vehicles were on average about the same age as the 145 vehicle lots a year earlier (51 years). While 92% of the vehicles were sold in 2020, the figure for 2021 was still a very good 82%, but at an average of USD 479,945, they went to new owners for significantly more money than in 2020 (USD 237,079).
