BICESTER, United Kingdom, May 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Broad Arrow Auctions, driven by Hagerty (NYSE: HGTY), is celebrating the success of its second annual Concorso d\u2019Eleganza Villa d\u2019Este Auction<\/b><\/a>. As the official auction partner of BMW AG<\/b> for this prestigious concours event, the sale took place at the stunning and historic Villa Erba from 16-17 May 2026.<\/p>\n

The famous rotunda at Villa Erba was full to capacity for this jewel of the international collector car auction calendar, which is as much an elegant social occasion as an opportunity for buyers to indulge their passion for significant classic and modern collector cars. Intense bidding in the room, online and on the telephones created a truly exciting atmosphere, while over 12,000 watched the auctioning of 75 of the world\u2019s most desirable collector cars live on the Broad Arrow YouTube channel. When renowned British auctioneer, Thomas Forrester, dropped the gavel on the final lot, the sales total had reached a fantastic \u20ac40.8 million<\/b> with a sell-through rate of 87 percent<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe returned for our second year as the official auction partner of the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este\u00a0<\/b>with a spectacularly varied catalogue of 75 collector cars curated to attract the interest of global collectors,\u201d says\u00a0Joe Twyman, VP of Sales EMEA Region for Broad Arrow Auctions.<\/b>\u00a0\u201cAnd attract them we did, with registered bidders from an impressive 31 different countries and more than 70 percent growth in bidder registration over the 2025 sale. The incredible atmosphere in the auction room also reflected the buoyancy of the market right now and underlined the status of what is undoubtedly one of the greatest concours events in the world, a place where established and new collectors amass to admire and acquire spectacular enthusiast cars of all ages.\u00a0We look forward to returning to Villa Erba again in 2027 to inspire the collector market even further\u201d.<\/p>\n

Italian marques were firm favourites, including Ferrari and Lamborghini, led by a stunning 2023 Ferrari Daytona SP3<\/b>. A single-owner example displaying\u00a0only\u00a0743 kilometres and finished in Rosso Magma Tri-Coat over a Blu Elettrico Alcantara interior, it sold for \u20ac6.250.000. A rare \u2018non-cat, non-adjust\u2019 1990 Ferrari F40<\/b> achieved a price of \u20ac2.931.250, while one of the most exciting and intense bidding battles of the auction saw a beautiful 1968 Ferrari 330 GTS<\/b> find a new home after selling for \u20ac1.918.750.<\/p>\n

Lamborghini models that sparked a great deal of interest among collectors and enthusiasts included a 2022 Countach LPI 800-4<\/b> that sold for \u20ac1.581.250, a six-speed manual 2009 Murcielago LP640-4 Coup\u00e9<\/b> which achieved \u20ac805.000 and a true icon of supercar history, a 1990 Countach 25th<\/sup> Anniversario<\/b> that sold for \u20ac523.750.<\/p>\n

An impressive selection of Japanese collector cars included the Ultimate R34 Skyline GT-R Collection<\/b>, consisting of five remarkable examples of the fast and furious icon, which together reached a price of \u20ac1.517.000. These iconic machines shared the spotlight with a seldom-seen NSX Type S<\/b> that achieved \u20ac207.000.<\/p>\n

Other highlights included a 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach Package<\/b> that sold for \u20ac2.256.250, a stalwart of the international collector-car market in a 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing Coup\u00e9<\/b> that found a new home at \u20ac1.637.500 and a 1968 Bizzarrini 5300 GT Strada <\/b>that achieved \u20ac820.000 immediately following the sale.<\/p>\n

The auction also featured some extremely unique Italian models, fitting for the venue, including a characterful 1963 Fiat 600 Torpedo Marina by Vignale <\/b>which could well be heading to a beach house after selling for \u20ac281.750 and a 1977 Fiat Bertone 850 T Visitors Bus<\/b>, which created one of the most exhilarating bidding battles of the auction, and the most appreciation from those in the rotunda, selling well over its upper estimate at \u20ac189.750.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a delight to welcome the international collector car community to our Concorso d\u2019Eleganza Villa d\u2019Este auction,\u201d says\u00a0Karsten Le Blanc, SVP, Head of EMEA Region and Broad Arrow Capital for Broad Arrow.<\/b> \u201cTheir passion and enthusiasm for our offered lots created a truly exciting event that was a tremendous success. Our team curated a remarkable catalogue of classic and contemporary models, delivering an auction that was truly in keeping with the status and style of the prestigious Concorso d\u2019Eleganza Villa d\u2019Este.\u201d<\/p>\n
