The Volvo Heritage Collection
There are cars that are stylish, and then there are cars that carry something bigger. A feeling, a time, a way of building that can no longer really be copied. With four new items in our classic Volvo collection, we get just the latter: a quartet that together captures something deeply Swedish. Here is the reliable workhorse of the people's home, the sports coupe that put Swedish design on the world map, the angular 70s favorite with a clear attitude and a PV that still evokes memories for generation after generation.

Reservation price – Safe protection or a brake on bidding?
Setting a reserve price often sounds obvious. It feels safe, rational and responsible. You don’t want to “give away” your car, especially if you’ve invested money, time and heart into it. But in the auction world, the reserve price is much more than a minimum level. It’s a strategic parameter that can affect the entire dynamics of the auction – from how many people dare to get involved to how high the final price can actually be.

When passion meets perfection on ice - The ICE i St. Moritz
Some automotive experiences happen behind the wheel. Others happen when the world stops, the temperature drops and some of the most exclusive cars ever built roll out onto a frozen lake in the Alps. The ICE in St. Moritz is just such a moment – and this year our auction manager Erik was there to experience it up close.

American Classics
American automotive history is not just about numbers, engines and model designations. It is about the feeling of the open road, about designs that dare to take up space and about cars that are built to be used – and heard. In this collection, five American icons come together to show how car culture in the United States has evolved from relaxed cruising to uncompromising performance. From the chrome-shining boulevard cars of the 50s to a sports car that challenged the fine rooms of Europe – each object in the collection carries its own story. Together they form a journey through decades of style, technology and driving pleasure.

When size actually matters
There are cars built for precision, efficiency and compromise – and then there are cars like the Dodge Ram SRT-10 and Chrysler Viper RT/10. Two American muscle icons that make no apologies for themselves, but instead build their entire identity around the same simple idea: bigger engine, more feel. United by their enormous V10 engines and an uncompromising approach to performance. When size actually matters is more than a slogan in this case – it’s the whole point.

The year in the rearview mirror part 2 – Odd vehicles, this year's new veterans and heart-pounding "No reserve" auctions!
If part one of our annual summary was about numbers, records and pure demand, this part is more about emotion. About the cars – and sometimes other vehicles – that sparked curiosity, courage and maybe even a little bit of a headache. These are the stories that emerge when enthusiasts meet, when rules are relaxed and when time suddenly works in your favor. Here are some of the awards from 2025 that say just as much about our marketplace as about the year that has passed.

The racing machine NS400R has the right retro touch
If you're looking for something retro-cool, you can rarely go wrong with a Rothmans machine from "back in the day". In the 1980s and 1990s, when tobacco advertising was still allowed in motorsport, the blue cars and motorcycles of Formula 1 and the equivalent motorcycle series Grand Prix Roadracing (now MotoGP) were among the hottest things around.

An unparalleled design that still holds up today
Did you know that the sleek and elegant sports car Jaguar E-Type was based on a racing car? The predecessor is called the D-Type – the car that clinched victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race three years in a row between 1955 and 1957. Certainly not a bad role model. One could subsequently describe the E-Type as a bit more refined and sophisticated in its design language compared to its big brother.

A Porsche with cult status and a collector's value that stands out.
When the Porsche 928 arrived, it was intended to pave the company's way into the future. It was meant to replace the 911, whose glory days were considered to be over by the mid-1970s. In hindsight, the 911 would not disappear, and the 928 would instead become a model with a life and following of its own.

Few cars have the same impact on popular culture as the Fiat 500
