Summary

The RM/Sotheby's auction only takes place every two years in the park of Villa Erba on the occasion of the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. It happened again on May 25, 2019. Although it wasn't raining as heavily as during the parade of the 56 Villa d'Este participants in the afternoon, it was still damp and cool, which obviously dampened the mood. Of the 52 classic cars on offer, only 29 were sold. On average, 77% of the estimated value was bid, but the reserve prices were obviously higher for many cars. At 3.7 million euros, a 1954 Ferrari 500 Mondial remained the most expensive car at the auction. This report analyzes the results of the auction and shows all the cars in pictures.

The RM/Sotheby's auction only takes place every two years in the park of Villa Erba on the occasion of the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. It happened again on May 25, 2019. As every year, the cars were lined up for a drive through the grandstands at Villa Erba. The weather was not ideal for this. Although it rained less in the evening than in the afternoon, it was still damp. And those who were already soaked from the parade in the Villa d'Este soon began to shiver. As many as 70 lots were looking for new owners, 52 of which were cars. The rest were spare parts such as a Ferrari 275 GTB front end (EUR 3840), tool sets for a Ferrari 250 SWB (EUR 14400) or boats that were probably better able to withstand the damp weather, such as the 1958 Riva Tritone "Via", which found a new owner for EUR 330,000.
