Each February the collector car world begins turning its attention toward South Florida, where a series of auctions and concours events help set the tone for the season ahead. RM Sotheby’s returned to the historic Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables for its sale, presenting a curated catalog of roughly ninety collector cars spanning pre-war classics, modern supercars, and significant sports cars from across the automotive spectrum. Despite stormy weather moving through the area during the event, bidding remained strong throughout much of the evening.
The carefully assembled catalog reflected RM Sotheby’s continued emphasis on quality over quantity, with a diverse selection of European sports cars, American classics, and modern high-performance machines crossing the block. Strong participation from collectors both in the room and bidding remotely helped push several lots comfortably into seven-figure territory, reinforcing the continued demand for rare and well-documented automobiles. Modern Ferraris and limited-production hypercars in particular generated considerable attention among bidders.
