Broad Arrow Auctions Amelia Island 2023

About

Broad Arrow Auctions, a Hagerty (NYSE: HGTY) company, today announced official results from its inaugural Amelia Auction—the official auction of The Amelia. Held on the oceanfront lawn and in the standing-room-only ballroom of The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island, on 4 March, the auction totaled $31 million with 81 percent of all lots sold.

The top seller of the auction was a one-of-a-kind 2015 McLaren P1, the headlining car of the carbon sisters trio of carbon-fiber-bodied McLaren supercars. Following an exciting bidding competition, the P1 sold for a final $2,425,000, a new world record for the model at auction. The top three sales were rounded out by the McLaren’s analog supercar ancestors, including a stellar example of Porsche’s technological masterpiece, a 1987 Porsche 959 Komfort, which brought a final $1,710,000, and a meticulously cared for and well-preserved 2005 Porsche Carrera GT, at a final $1,517,500.

Broad Arrow set additional new auction records in Amelia Island, all representing the RADwood era and modern classics segment of the market. A pair of ultimate AMG sedans stole the show, with a 1987 Mercedes-Benz AMG ‘Hammer’ Sedan setting a new record for a 124 series Mercedes-Benz at $775,000, quickly smashed just 20 lots later by a 1991 AMG 6.0 Widebody Coupe at a final $885,000. A one-of-100, low-mileage 2002 Lotus Esprit V8 25th Anniversary Edition set a new auction record for a non-James Bond Esprit at $193,200, while an exceptionally well-preserved 1997 Acura Integra Type R sold for a new model record at $151,200.
