4.7 · 1 Bewertung

RM Sotheby's is an auction house specializing in collector and classic cars, formed through the partnership of RM Auctions with Sotheby's and headquartered in Blenheim, Ontario, Canada. RM Auctions was founded in 1991 by Rob Myers, growing out of his classic car restoration business, and Sotheby's acquired a strategic stake in 2015, creating RM Sotheby's as the group's flagship automobile auction brand.

The company conducts flagship auctions at major collector car events worldwide, including Monterey during Pebble Beach car week, Amelia Island, Paris during Retromobile week, Villa Erba on Lake Como, London, and standalone single-collection sales. It has set many of the highest prices ever achieved for automobiles at auction, including the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe sold in 2022 for 135 million euros, the most expensive car ever sold at auction.

RM Sotheby's combines auction sales with private sales, estate and collection management, and financial services for collectors, supported by a specialist team across offices in North America, Europe, and Asia. Its catalogues cover pre-war classics, post-war sports cars, modern supercars, and competition cars, frequently handling Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, Bugatti, and Porsche icons.

Bidding is available in person, by phone, and online through the company's digital platform, with sales results and upcoming auctions published on its website.

KI-Rezensionen

Claude Sonnet 5 KI 4.7

RM Sotheby's has built a genuinely dominant position in collector car auctions by combining Rob Myers' original hands-on restoration expertise with Sotheby's brand authority and marketing reach, a partnership that has proven more effective than either party would likely have achieved alone. Holding the record for the most expensive car ever sold at auction, the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe at 135 million euros, is a striking data point, but the more telling evidence is the consistency of its flagship sales at Monterey, Amelia Island, and Villa Erba, which have become fixtures of the collector calendar precisely because consignors trust the house to achieve strong results reliably, not just occasionally. Specialist cataloguing across pre-war classics through modern supercars requires genuinely deep technical and provenance expertise that generalist auction houses handling cars as a side category typically lack. The addition of private sales, estate management, and collector financial services shows the house understands that serious collectors need more than transactional bidding events. Bidding access across in-person, phone, and digital platforms keeps the process accessible globally. It is close to the definitive name in this specialist auction category.
