A day prior to McLaren’s dominant Formula 1, 1-2 finish on Sunday with Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris on the podium in Miami, prestigious Auction House Bonhams Cars was working its own magic just a few hundred feet away from the race track at the Hard Rock Stadium. Held in conjunction with the Grand Prix weekend only for the second time, Bonhams’ annual Miami Auction in Florida has quickly evolved to become one of the top auctions to watch, not just in the United States, but around the world.
With 53 available lots for 2025, the docket leaned in on modern supercars and bespoke builds, coupled with a healthy dose of nostalgia. Besides the cars, the lineup also included memorabilia, two junior cars, and a 14-car (Lots 34-47) no-reserve consignment from a single owner, dubbed the “Orange Collection”. Lot 31, a 1956 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing, was withdrawn and will be offered at Bonhams’ Quail Auction in August.
Coming to the top three sales from Saturday’s auction. Lot 26: a 1990 Porsche 911 Turbo Reimagined by Singer, saw a hammer price of $1.5 million. Fierce bidding for restomods is a theme that we also noticed at last week’s Air|Water auction. The undisputed star of the show was Lot 33: the 2009 Brawn BGP001 Formula 1 car, which failed to meet its reserve. This is the same chassis that helped Jenson Button secure the championship in Brawn GP’s lone season in F1. Overall, the weekend saw $12.6 million in sales, just from the cars alone.
