Mecum auction. A spark of enthusiasm

One hundred and ten million dollars in sales truly is a breath of fresh air. The Mecum auction in Florida was the most invigorating one we’ve seen in quite some time. With $110,573,645 in takings from cars alone, this sale is the first to exceed the $100 million threshold in the last 12 months and is a sharp rise (+16.7%) over the $94.7 million registered in January 2020, what’s more with 25% fewer cars on offer (2,200 versus 2,946). And there’s one more thing to keep in mind: at the time, the coronavirus was a disease that was confined to Wuhan.
