Broad Arrow celebrates success of global icons auction

Broad Arrow Auctions is celebrating the success of its latest auction, Global Icons, made up of “an incredible selection of carefully curated collector cars and memorabilia.” The online auction saw nearly 800 bidders from 35 countries worldwide, totalling over €18.3 million in sales.

The star of the Broad Arrow Auctions event was one of the most iconic race cars in F1 history, the 1992 Benetton B192-05 that Michael Schumacher drove to his first ever Grand Prix win at Spa-Francorchamps. For the first time offered to the public, the car “attracted intense interest” from around the world, selling for a total of €5,082,000.

Alongside the Benetton is a 2003 Ferrari 350 Challenge Stradale which saw “some of the most frenzied bidding” before exceeding its upper estimate and setting a European auction record for the model at €561,000. The only example finished in Azzurro California blue, it is also one of just 51 360 Challenge Stradales to come with the Lexan sliding windows, as well as a number of other “highly desirable” optional extras.

Another Ferrari that “dramatically turned up the bidding heat” was a 1990 Mondial t Cabriolet, model once overlooked by collectors and enthusiasts. It exceeded its highest estimate by 52%, selling for €99,000.

Iconic Lamborghinis were also there, reflecting the “continued global interest” in the ‘Raging Bull’ brand. Among them was a pristine 1971 Miura P400S, one of just 338 out of a total of less than 800 Miuras ever made. This car is in a distinctive Giallo Miura over Nero leather, and has only 2,000 km covered since a five-year restoration project was completed in 2011. It sold for €1,716,000.

Other Lambos included a 1986 Countach 5000 QV that sold for €792,000 and a six-speed manual 2003 Murcielago with the early 6.2-litre engine that went for €302,500.

After the “enormous success” of the Broad Arrow Global Icons auction, attention now turns to The Amelia Auction, between 6^th and 7^th March on Amelia Island in Florida. This will be the fourth time Broad Arrow is chosen as the official auction house of The Amelia Concours, and it will present a spectacular selection of collector cars when bidding gets underway at the renowned Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island hotel.
