Market Intelligence
Arizona again, like the Twist
Auto auctions in Arizona, featuring six large events, will provide insights into the 2022 market. Three auctions, Worldwide, Bonhams, and RM Sotheby’s, will offer interesting lots. For example, Worldwide will have a 1991 Lamborghini Diablo for sale, and Bonhams has a 1961 Jaguar E-Type S1 3.8 Roadster with external bonnet latches, which may influence its value. The auctions offer a chance to observe whether certain trends will emerge in the market.
Arizona Week, with its six large auctions, will give us some interesting indications of the 2022 market. This is why we continue to browse through the many cars on offer. This week, in order to understand whether certain phenomena will emerge, Chris Goodall has selected some lots from Worldwide, Bonhams and RM Sotheby’s.
We begin with Worldwide, the first auction of the three, which will be held on Wednesday 26th (If you want to follow it in streaming, it starts at 5 PM local time or 1 AM in Europe).
To begin with, a 1991 Lamborghini Diablo. White with black interior, this example is from the first year of production. With Countach prices rising in recent months, I’m curious to see if the Diablo will do the same. References? The last two sold: one with 5,250 km on the clock for $274,400 / €224,800; the other with 21,000 km to its credit for $145,600 / €119,900. The one on sale this time has covered 12.500 km. In my opinion, the threshold worth keeping an eye on is $200,000 (€175,000).
