Gord Duff, Global Head of Auctions, RM Sotheby’s, gave his summary on the event.
«The SHIFT/MONTEREY auction has been a phenomenal success for us. We’re proud to have grossed more than the combined sales totals achieved by our two nearest competitors during what would have been the Monterey Car Week, and to have set some amazing records along the way. It’s also fantastic to see cars from all eras featuring in the top ten results of this sale, proving that there is still robust demand across a broad cross-section of the market».
