How to NOT sell your car at auction

Selling a car at auction can be one of the easiest, most efficient and most transparent ways to reach the right buyer. Properly presented, properly described and properly handled, a car can get exactly the attention it deserves – sometimes more than the seller himself would have dared to hope for. But there is also a fairly surefire way to make the journey both more complicated, weaker and less profitable. That is to believe that the auction will take care of itself.

Nürburgring Hit and Run – Is it even possible?

Jacob and his equally car-crazy friend Petter decided to take on a pretty crazy project. A 28-year-old, fairly worn-out Porsche 996 with a roll cage, bucket seats and a clear trackday focus was to be driven from Stockholm to the Nürburgring. Just over 1,600 miles down. There, a lap awaited in the hands of Misha Charoudin – a recognized idiot, racing driver and the man who is not exactly known for holding back. Then the car, and hopefully the crew, would make it all the way home again. Total: just over 3000 miles in just over three days. Is it possible with an old 996 that has lived a pretty hard life? Read the article, watch the video and decide for yourself.

Why you should buy your enthusiast car at auction - The hunt, the feeling and the deal

There are few ways to buy a car that feels as alive as an auction. It's not just a purchase – it's an experience. The pulse of the bidding, the wait in the final seconds and the feeling when the hammer falls. But behind the adrenaline there is also something more rational: a smarter, safer and often more engaging path to the right car.

Boulevard Classics – A collection of icons

A time, a place, a lifestyle. Think sun-bleached boulevards, long coastal roads and a natural mix of elegance, freedom and attitude. These are the cars that could just as easily have rolled through Beverly Hills in the 90s as along a European Riviera today.

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.

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.

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.
