The top 5 cars were sold at the Scottsdale auction in Bonhams

In the past yearBonhams has been struggling. It often operates outstanding cars, but it seems that the company has been working hard to find buyers. This surprised me because Bonhams has some of the best customer services in the field of boutique auction. It has always made everywhere, so that everyone participating in sales is welcomed and part of the family. For Bonhams, this is a single difference, because it comes from the company’s culture, it is difficult to copy.

One of the main reasons for trouble is that several top experts in Bonhams have moved to other companies. This includes top people, such as Malcolm Barber and Jakob Greisen.

From a more positive perspective, Bonhams has become many new employees, and the experts I encounter are very good in work. In addition, Nick Smith, the founder of Bonhams’ auction, is back. In my opinion, these new employees and reorganizations, coupled with changes in the auction schedule (eliminating the Amit Island activities), will help bring Bonhams back to the market. Such things take time. I expect the fruit of its labor to be rewarded during the Montrey Motor Week in 2025.

In Bonhams’s Scottsdale auction, in the Scottsdale auction house last week, the auction house sent many outstanding cars, from millions of dollars of Ferraris and Mercedes-Benzes to entry-level cars, everything has everything. Let’s browse my top five cars.

1. 1967 Mercedes-Mercedes 250SL

This car is definitely a amazing recovery of W113 Pagoda Mercedes SL. Color changes from white to light metamis. The cabin has the correct tan leather interior. From the carpet, the concave on the cover of the headlight, every detail of the repair of this car is absolutely perfect. It is sold at a price of incredible reasonable $ 134,400 and will provide fun for new owners in the next few years.

2. In 1987

Although this car may not be important for older collectors, for young enthusiasts who grow up with Gran Turismo (yes, I’m talking about you, Tyson Yichi), this car is very big Essence These skylines ruled the Japanese A racing competition literally and caused the Toyota Racing team to explode. The reason why the Nissan Skyrim is so popular because these cars do on the track. What makes this specimen particularly special is Calsonic Livery, the original coating of this car, which is the first painting to wear this uniform. This is iconic, not only because Calsonic Nissan has achieved great success, but also because this exact car is available in the best -selling video game Gran Turismo. It is sold with a very fair $ 201,600. I think it is a good purchase; I will not be surprised to see this car worth $ 500,000 in the next five years.

3.1956Austin-Healey 100-4 BN2

This Austin-HEALEY 100 is the best example of the real “large Healey” car in the form of a sports car, not a heavy car that Healey becomes with the 3000 series. The car is completed with ancient British white in the tan leather interior. It cooperates with good panels. All details are correct. It looks very ready to drive in classic car rally. I guarantee that the price of $ 56,000 in this car is a small part of the cost reduction cost. It’s so good.

4. 2005 Aston Martin Conquer S

In the world of super sports cars, Aston Martin Vanquish has always been a bargain. These are the last hand -made Aston made by the Newport Pagnell factory, which is amazing as driving. The V12 under the hood sounds better than any other modern V12 on the earth. Inside, these Aston people are as luxurious as they expect, which is one of the most beautiful modern quantitative regulations ever in history. This Vanquish S is priced at $ 61,600, less than half of its original retail price. I still think that the world will wake up to see the value of these cars, which will lead to rising prices.

5.1967 Lamborghini Miuu P400

This car is an example no Sell ​​your car at the auction. During the auction preview, the owner spent three days lurking beside the car and talked about his car with anyone who was willing to hear. He does not allow anyone to touch it, he will not let any Bonhams staff touch or start it, and his value to his car is completely crazy. Pre-sale estimates are $ 2.2 to 2.8 million in astronomy. There is a bidder in the room bidding to the market correction of 1.8 million US dollars, but the owner refuses to sell. The worst part is that anyone who is interested in cars knows now that the owner’s price is unrealistic, and the data of high -price data is for appreciation of the world. This is a good car, but it is owned by a person who does not want to sell.

Yes, the number of Bonhams is not amazing, but it does bring high-quality cars to Arizona and sells some high-priced cars, including Mercedes-Benz 300SL in 1956, with a price of 1.49 million US dollars Essence Honestly, I think Bonhams is expected to surprise us this year. I hope the best person in 2025.
