About Bonhams Auction

What separates Bonhams is a storied 230-year heritage and a “specialist-first” approach. Unlike larger, high-volume auctions, Bonhams focuses on deep historical scholarship and “fresh-to-market” discoveries, particularly in the pre-war and vintage categories.

Their specialists, often with mechanical or racing backgrounds, prioritize technical transparency and provenance. This boutique philosophy creates an intimate, refined atmosphere where the cars remain the stars, attracting serious connoisseurs who value authenticity and historical significance over the typical auction spectacle.
