$164,000,000 Car Auction. 2023 RM Sothebys Monterey

[@1929HSS]

Thanks for the videos, will have to keep an eye out for you in August, have been to every Pebble Beach Concours but one since 1966. I didn't have much time to see this auction preview so this video is much appreciated.

[@dingmanracing]

I just found your KZbin channel today and watched your video at the Retro French show. I love how your videos are produced. You do an excellent job showing the cars which I imagine is pretty difficult with so many people around. Thanks for letting a Central Florida guy see what is going on around the West coast..and other places I can't afford to go to 😂

[@davidcoan4899]

Thanks for the video, great coverage, great camera work and excellent voice over

[@gregmodelle7343]

RMO, terrific nerd-out. You do it right, Sir.

[@whototeru]

Thank you for your uploads. I learn a ton from you!

[@christinalloyd9566]

Thanks so much for the video Richard. Loved it!

[@robertyntema2150]

Great video. I ike your selection of cars, the information you give, and the tempo is good.

[@richardtoonkel6484]

Love your focus on details. Thanks you

[@ramblerdave1339]

Thought I saw an Apollo GT, in several of the clips, no honorable mention? Love the '50s Italian coachwork, especially the Berlinettas, GTs, and coupes.

[@patrick.lin.]

One day I'll get to see some of these beauties in person hopefully, thanks for sharing as always!

[@EverythingAutomotive13]

Perfect Michael love the details. We appreciate your hard work. Love the cars!

[@James-hb6ee]

Wonderful coverage, Richard. My favs are the Alfa Villa de Este, the blue Siata and the Agnelli Boano Chrysler. Would have loved to see the champagne Packard up close, though! :)

[@shirleyboy8859]

Always a delight Richard.... Some beautiful works of art..... :-))

[@denniswhite9721]

[@porthose2002]

Thanks so much for putting this video together.

[@aeolus75]

As always, the best of the best ❤ Cheers from Paris

[@eduardorogeliorodriguez7012]

Simplemente bellisimo

[@LTV_inc]

Well done.😊

[@mikef.1000]

That "mangled" skin of a Ferrari sold for $1.85 million... leaves me speechless. Lovely walk through as usual Richard, your enthusiasm is excellent!

[@Legoman585]

Thank you for sharing

[@v8hammertime187]

I'am waiting for the Erling Haaland GLS 63 AMG beeing sold on Sothebys - now for sale in Germany for 1. Mio. Euro ;-)

[@sandyvalentin3072]

Richard what a spectacular assortment of cars thank you for sharing with us ..Oh yea by the way I have that 1/18th scale model of that 1938 BMW 328 NSKK Competition Roadster sitting on my desk in my office .. Go figure 😊..

[@chalouisminouchon4487]

Cool à News vidéo Thank you.

[@rodjames2]

I have really enjoyed your Monterey episodes Richard. Its been the best of the best each episode and kind of a mental holiday for me. Beautiful cars, women and scenery what more could we ask for! You really impress with all the detailed knowledge you provide. I'm looking forward to your net episode Richard!

[@RichardMichaelOwen]

Thanks Rod great to have you along

[@MH-wg6bz]

I'm so glad that people invest so much money in these cars. They are works of art.

[@Albdentist]

So well done, as if I’m there…thank you sir….

[@HoosierHacker]

Great videos. What do you think of Amelia Island?

[@RichardMichaelOwen]

Had some great times at Amelia, Hagerty have taken over the event, so it's hard to know such direction they will take. RM Sotheby's split directions and their ModaMiami event seems headed in a better direction, let's see.

[@davidnelson6893]

Yes that was cool wow

[@ronschwolsky1626]

Gorgeous cars that you featured. Just go to show, there's a lot of stupid money out there for collectible cars that will never see the road.

[@michaeljoiner2503]

Thank you Richard. Looking forward to more shop vids 🙂

[@jpkatz1435]

Yes!

[@peterwooldridge7285]

Thanks M... Some beautiful vehicles...My favourite, the Chrysler although the Fiat was a close second.

[@paulcharlesworth319]

Yet another great video Richard, now get back in your garage and help your dad complete those restorations. 🤣

[@U_ever]

Great work as always ! "LIKE" button has been torqued to the manufacturer's recommended specification. "CLICK". God forbid you should be running around Monterey there with a loose "LIKE" button !

[@johndavey72]

Hello Richard . Some of these cars were trully breath taking . I particularly appreciated the ltalian Coach built cars and in the wide scope of the price point were , in my opinion , relative bargains . ......have you changed your frontispiece ? Don't recall seeing a "low drag" "e"type . And l did see your other video .....bonkers ! Thanks Richard

[@67daltonknox]

That Chrysler is stunning... what if?

[@latitude9.5north54]

As usual, a thoroughly enjoyable on-site video. From where do you source your beautiful piano music?

[@RichardMichaelOwen]

Piano is a Chopin Etude. Thanks for watching.

[@verdict1163]

That 1950 Alfa with the Touring bodywork was stunning. I can't believe it only bid to $600k.

[@mumblbeebee6546]

Fascinating how many cars do not meet reserve - in those cases, do the owners have to pay the auctioneers a fee?

[@n1352-m1i]

impressive... thank you. ps: are you positive XKD546 is presently equipped with a wide angle head (or even semi wide)? usually the bridge between the camshafts is not like that on wide angle heads (plus the head bolts have a little bit more clearance)...

[@richardelliott8352]

really enjoyed this professional grade work. I don't see any mystery between the values of the two versions of the short wheelbase D Jaguar XK's , the more valuable one can be used on the street, and has room for a passenger.

[@ramblerdave1339]

And is much more rare!

[@chandrachurniyogi8394]

been looking to acquire original restored 1958 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder LWB 3.0 V12 2-Dr Grand Touring Cabriolet (LHD) . . . also interested in the 1960 Ferrari 250 GT Pininfarina (S1) LWB 3.0 V12 2-Dr Sports Cabriolet (LHD) . . . if available . . . please advise . . .

[@MichaelKingsfordGray]

The prices were ridiculous!

[@stephenjablonsky1941]

Whether you are rich or poor, it is good to have money.............and lots of it.

[@petergregory7199]

Some great results, some not so great. I wonder if the race cars lose out because their history is over glamourised? Road cars capture the spirit of the time. Race cars are really test beds for engineering. The numbers link them to specific races and if the bits have been changed out where does that leave the buyer? They don’t even have manuals to go with them!

[@gary5481]

Automotive porn! Like a Victoria's Secret show for classic cars. I'm salivating.

[@jpkatz1435]

Lets call it "erotica", porn is so "open raincoat".

[@PatFoteff]

The rich strike again!

[@johna1160]

Richard, I respectfully suggest you find someone who speaks Italian to help you with pronunciation. You do say Ferrari correctly (with a North American accent), but that's about it.

[@tomy8450]

Does he say Jaguar correctly after breathing so much Jaguar over the decades?

[@joelaurieri9065]

The Chrysler coupe looks like a cheaper copy of a Ferrari 250 GT Coupe

[@testarosso1368]

American restorations = make it look new

[@caribman10]

Are any of the owners planning to DRIVE any of these machines, or will they just hoard them as most do?

[@aung3627]

လှပသောလက်ယာ

[@WayneSwan-k9e]

what im going to say .. please be gentle on me .. Why cant... why wouldn't manufacturers re-create the cars that are obviously selling in the gazzzillions and just install modern tech. Id love to see some of the old classic styles on the road again . To many of these beautiful cars are bought by billionares and private collectors never to see the light of day again. FINE i get that. But why wouldnt any manufacturer just re-create the classic with modern day improvements. If Im not wroing didnt ford do the GT40

[@allenschmitz9644]

Who owns a three car garage these days?

[@itsjustme9318]

Another gathering of the more money than brains club driving old car prices WAY above their true worth, and making it harder and harder for the average guy to own a nice collector car!!!!!

[@dingmanracing]

I also don't care if you can't correctly pronounce Italian and French named car name/models...according to "Someone " The things people bitch about??..JMHO

[@RichardMichaelOwen]

Thanks, can't please everyone 😎

[@vincedenais2612]

Get your zeros right on the clickbait title please!

[@clark9992]

The zeros are right. The other digits are correct as well. What are you thinking the correct number is?

[@auser1617]

Great video bro, by the way its Bernie Ecclestone that owned the XKSS Jag not Hardley
