RM Sotheby’s to host Dubai auction in December 2024
In partnership with 1000 Miglia Experience UAE
RM Sotheby’s, the world’s leading collector car auction house, has revealed plans for its second auction in the Arabian Gulf region, scheduled for December 1, 2024, at the Emirates Golf Club in Dubai emirate.
The auction will be held with the 1000 Miglia Experience UAE, marking a significant event in Dubai’s burgeoning automotive season.
The upcoming sale follows RM Sotheby’s inaugural Dubai auction in March 2024, which generated $17 million. Among the highlights of that event was a 2016 Koenigsegg Agera RSR, which fetched $3,380,000.
December is rapidly establishing itself as the UAE’s ‘automotive season,’ featuring high-profile events such as the 1000 Miglia Experience, RM Sotheby’s sale, Cavallino Middle East, and the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Second time round
Peter Wallman, Chairperson of RM Sotheby’s UK & EMEA, said: “We are thrilled to return to Dubai for our second auction in the UAE during such an exciting time for car enthusiasts in the region.
“Partnering with the 1000 Miglia Experience UAE at a fantastic new venue underscores our commitment to expanding our presence in this key market and continuing the momentum from our successful March auction.”
Martin Halder, Founder of Octanium Experiences and organiser of the 1000 Miglia Experience UAE, added: “We are excited to collaborate with RM Sotheby’s, enhancing the opening day of our 1000 Miglia Experience UAE.
“This partnership signifies a major milestone in our effort to nurture and grow the automotive enthusiast community in the Middle East, a region renowned for its passion and rapid development in fine automobiles.”
After four exciting days of rallying, Salim Al Rifai and Giordano Mozzi claimed victory overall at the 2023 edition of 1000 Miglia Experience UAE at the wheel of their 1955 Porsche 356 Speedster.
The 2023 edition of the 1000 Miglia Experience UAE rally (second edition) was open to participants in three classes. The field of entrants was expanded to 125, strictly by invitation only.
