The latest, and 26th, issue of the Classic Car Auction Yearbook is almost ready. This fantastic, and for me essential, reference book by Adolfo Orsi and Raffaele Gazzi will soon be with us. I am taking advance orders now, so if you would like to order a copy please send me an email at james@marinamarini.com.au
The 26th edition of the Classic Car Auction Yearbook covers the most important auctions from 1st September 2020 to 31st August 2021: 5.407 cars of 334 different makes, illustrated by 834 color and b/w photos. Each car is listed with year, model, bodybuilder, chassis number, estimate, hammer price in GB£, US$ and €, sale date and place, lot number and auction house, and a short description; furthermore, it reports the results in US$ achieved by the same car if offered at auction in the last 27 years. Considered by many “the Bible in the field”, the Yearbook contains the market analysis by the representatives of the most important auction houses, the authors comment with graphs and statistics of the last 28 auction seasons, the most coveted marques, countries and periods, total auction sales turnover, percentage of cars sold, average price achieved by some iconic models and, at the end, the Top 5 cars and the overall Top 20 since the 1993/1994 season. An absolute must for every professional, collector and enthusiast.
