Bonhams goal of this auction was to draw attention to the concept of preserving automobiles as a growing aspect of collecting cars and also to build awareness for the spectacular collection of sports racing cars at The Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum. In both respects, with interest shown in terms of strong bidding for preserved cars, a very busy saleroom, and an active pre-sale viewing period, the sale event was a success. 'We are delighted with the response to this auction, the first of its kind in the world devoted to predominantly 'preserved' collector cars. We will be back next year and encourage owners of similar cars to begin their discussions with the Bonhams worldwide team now,' said Rupert Banner and Evan Ide of Bonhams New York who conceived and organized the sale together with Dr. Frederick Simeone, executive director of the The Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum. 'We were honored to be Bonhams' choice for the locale for the first-ever auction of preservation automobiles,' said Dr. Fred Simeone, executive director of the Simeone Automotive Museum. 'Promoting the conservation of historically significant automobiles is a mission of the museum and this auction brought attention to this important endeavor.' Bonhams next collector car auctions take place on: January 17, 2013 at the Westin Kierland Resort and Spa, Scottsdale, Arizona February 23, 2013 at the Concours d'Elegance, Boca Raton, Florida
