What happened
Broad Arrow Auctions sold 57 of 65 lots at its Newport, Rhode Island, sale on 2 October 2026, according to Old Cars Weekly. The single-day sale raised US$8.3m, an 88 per cent sell-through rate (the share of offered lots that found buyers). Motorious described it as Broad Arrow's first auction in the Northeast.
A 1914 Stutz 4E Bearcat made US$1,875,000 against an estimate of US$1.75m–US$2m. A 2009 Ferrari 430 Scuderia made US$538,500 (estimate US$500,000–US$650,000) and a 2022 McLaren 765LT Spider made US$516,500 (estimate US$500,000–US$700,000).
The Old Cars Weekly report cites a buyer's premium (the auction house's fee on top of the hammer price) of 12 per cent of the first US$250,000 of hammer price. The source did not say whether the reported totals and lot prices include that fee.
Several other lots also finished within their estimates. A 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Coupe made US$428,500 against US$425,000–US$475,000, and a 2008 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione made US$368,000 against US$350,000–US$425,000. A 1970 Dodge Coronet R/T Hemi hardtop made US$207,200, above its US$150,000–US$200,000 estimate.
Of the six lots with estimates reported here, five sold inside their range and the Dodge sold above it.
The sale was held at the International Tennis Hall of Fame. Motorious said Audrain Newport Concours & Motor Week, the event around it, runs from 1 to 4 October 2026. Old Cars Weekly said bidders came from 16 countries and nearly 40 per cent were bidding at a Broad Arrow sale for the first time.
Eight of the 65 lots did not sell, on the lot counts Old Cars Weekly gave.
