OUR TENTH ANNUAL PARIS SALE

A destination for fashion and the spiritual birthplace of bespoke coachbuilding, Paris is a natural home for an auction that has become a highlight for RM Sotheby’s. In 2023, a superior selection of supercars, past and present, as well as notable examples of modern motorsport, will be offered under the French city’s famous lights.

For our tenth anniversary Paris sale, RM Sotheby’s is moving to an all-new setting at the Salles du Carrousel in Louvre Palace. A destination venue for clients across Europe and set in the “Golden Triangle” of Paris, steps away from the Place Vendôme, this new location is sure to make RM Sotheby’s Paris 2023 auction an occasion not to be missed.

With grand hotels and fine dining that define cosmopolitan, Paris presents the ideal background to offer your collector car for sale. Planning is already underway for RM Sotheby’s first European auction of the 2023 season.

KICKING OFF THE 2023 COLLECTOR CAR AUCTION CALENDAR

Opening the auction season in Arizona is an annual tradition for the classic car world. A new year can bring a sense of renewal and growth, introducing new opportunities to acquire one-of-a-kind automobiles. In a time of change, it is reassuring to note that some traditions remain, and so RM Sotheby’s is pleased to announce its return to the historic, Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa on Thursday, 26 January 2023.

Amidst an incomparable setting in the hills above Scottsdale, the resort’s picturesque courtyard will once again provide a scenic backdrop for show cars to compete, with the return of the Arizona Concours d’Elegance earlier that week on 22 January. Registered bidders and their guests gain entry to our auction preview on Wednesday, 25 January, and will experience the quiet splendor of wintertime in the Arizona desert. The highlight of the weekend will be a focused one-day sale set in an icon of American architecture.

Planning is already underway for RM Sotheby’s first auction of the new year.
