Summary
RM/Sotheby's has been organizing auctions in London since 2007. On November 1-2, 61 vehicles worth around £33.6 million went under the hammer alongside over 100 automobiles. A total of 50 vehicles worth £ 20.8 million were sold, with a sales quota of 82%. Because the Jaguar XKSS did not find a new owner despite a high bid, a Ferrari F40 was the most expensive car. There were also some bargains to be had. This auction review analyzes the mood and figures and shows all the vehicles in pictures.
This article contains the following chapters
- Especially Aston Martin, Bentley and Ferrari
- The Jaguar XKSS did not live up to expectations
- 300 SL convinced the most
- Famous racing cars sold below estimate

Preview (beginning of the article)
RM/Sotheby's has been organizing an auction in London (almost) every year for almost 20 years. On November 1 and 2, 2024, in the run-up to the London to Brighton Run at the Peninsula in London, over 100 automobilia (including vehicle documents, trophies, photos, tools and other items) and 61 vehicles, including a motorcycle and a historic tricycle, came under the hammer with a value of £33.6 million. No reserve price was set for 39% of the vehicles. There was no shortage of interested parties and bidders, as could be seen in the almost epic bidding battle for an old racing helmet once worn by Graham Hill at the Indy 500.
