This was the 23rd year for RM's Amelia Island sale, and although we've gotten used to seeing historic sports and racing cars from the '50s or '60s headlining at the Ritz-Carlton, 2022 was a bit different. Modern exotics from Bugatti and McLaren and prewar greats from Packard and Duesenberg were the big cars this year.
If Bonhams was a bit sleepy and Gooding was buzzing, RM was somewhere in the middle. There were big prices and plenty of energy in the room, but overall less exuberance than we saw a few weeks ago in Scottdale. As for the cars, check out the pages below for a detailed look at the most interesting and significant vehicles at RM Sotheby's Amelia Island 2022.
