Historica Selecta’s Classic Car Auction Yearbook, the leading and only combined source of annual, international collector car market sales, launched its 19th edition on the evening of Thursday, 23rd October nearby the annual Auto e Moto d’Epoca Fiera di Padua. The new yearbook reports on the remarkable, preceding season of collector car auctions that reached new heights with the highest sales rate in the last 20 years of 76%, nearly twice the number (245) of cars sold above a million dollars compared to the previous year and, for the first time, more thanone billion dollars in overall sales.“ The new Classic Car Auction 2013-2014 Yearbook reports on an incredible season that exceeded even the most seasoned experts’ expectations with an increase in dollars of 42% over last year and arecord sale in California this August of the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO presented by Bonhams,” says Adolfo Orsi Jr., historian, specialist and president of Historica Selecta, which is based in Modena, Italy. “After more than 20 years of market analysis, we’re seeing the bigger picture of generational evolution among collectors, with more interest among younger ages, and a shift in what is considered blue chip, which leaves us with the continuing need to better understand the data of what is selling and why.”“Also, the market was more “Ferrari-centric” than ever before, with 48 of the top 100 sales. Overall, Ferrari sales made up 33.36% of the total turnover for the 2013-2014 season,” adds Mr. Orsi.
