Preview (beginning of the article)
At the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco on May 14, 2022, a large number of bidders gathered at the RM/Sotheby's auction to bid on 67 vehicles, including a boat and a motorcycle. However, the auction started with some automobilia and accessories, but even here the prospective buyers were not stingy. EUR 52,800 was paid for a hardtop for the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL W198, while two children's cars went for EUR 18,000 and EUR 30,000. One buyer paid EUR 31,200 for the luggage set for the F50. Naturally, it was also exciting to see how the interesting range of vehicles, estimated at a total of EUR 45.5 million, would fare. After all, 21% of the 67 vehicles were offered without a minimum price, and on average they were 42 years old.
