For those with more modest budgets the Bonhams online auctions will take place on Saturday May 30th and Saturday July 25th, with a live auctioneer conducting the sales at Bonhams MPH base at Bicester Heritage. At the moment both sales will be closed auctions with buyers able to see the cars in video ‘walkrounds’ on the website, and bids to the auctioneer by telephone or online. Bonhams says the resumption of live auctions will depend on government advice at the time.
The sales include categories for motorcycles, Aston Martin and Lagonda, Edwardian and vintage, popular classics, modern classics, and sports and Grand Touring. Lots that would have been sold at the traditional auctions, including those held at Goodwood, will be included in the sales. Bonhams MPH terms apply, so the entry fee is £125 for cars with a seller’s commission of five per cent, and a buyer’s premium of 12.5 per cent (all plus VAT).
The star car of the May auction promises to be a gorgeous Lancia Aurelia B24S cabriolet, with a guide price of £220-260,000.
