Mecum and RM: Two deserts under the same sun

Mecum and RM organised two auctions "in the middle of the desert". Although Glendale in Arizona is not comparable to Dubai in the Emirates, one thing is for sure: Deserts do not naturally have an aptitude for cars. Especially the Middle East where there is no tradition of classic cars. It is enough to mention that an Iconic auction in Riyadh in 2019 had placed only 3% of the cars, practically nothing, whereas this year the percentage has risen to 29%. Few units, all still quite unrefined, but the road ahead seems mapped out.
