Summary

From September 22 to 24, 2022, RM/Sotheby's auctioned the collection of American enthusiast Gene Ponder, who had a love for beautiful cars from the 1930s to 1950s, but also for MG and Italian and French coachbuilders in particular. 98 cars came under the hammer alongside over 1000 automobilia and around two dozen motorcycles, including super classics such as a 300 SL Roadster and a Bugatti 57 SC Atlantic. This auction report analyzes the results and shows all the cars in pictures.

Preview (beginning of the article)

Gene Ponder is certainly not your average collector. He loves cars, but he has a special taste. He loves the MG brand, but the cars don't necessarily have to be true to the original. In any case, when in doubt, beautiful shapes are more important to him than originality, and so he once had an Alfa Romeo built on the basis of a Jaguar. And he built up his collection twice, because as an entrepreneur he sold most of his first collection to finance the establishment of a new company. The success of his companies enabled him to afford his special hobby. Because he was getting to an age that would no longer allow him to regularly drive all of his more than 120 automobiles, motorcycles and boats, and because he did not want to burden his descendants with the task of selling this collection, Gene Ponder decided to auction off almost his entire assemblage: on September 22-24, 2022, 1047 Automobilia lots, 98 cars and two dozen motorcycles, among other things, went under the hammer.
