Record Results at Race Retro
After an incredible weekend at Race Retro we achieved fantastic results for our vendors in three days of auctions in front of hundreds of historic motorsport fans, with total sales of £5million, more than £1.5million up on last year’s total.
We secured two new world record prices and once again we’ve been able to host a highly successful auction with both happy sellers and happy buyers by offering a special combination of auction atmosphere and some of the finest cars available on the market.
As well as classic road cars, more than £580,000 worth of competition cars were also sold in our first separate race car auction at the show.
