The top result at the Bonhams Den Hartogh Museum sale was for the ex-William F. Harrah and Imperial Palace Collection 1905 Ford Model B Side Entrance Tonneau that achieved the world record price of €419,750, more than seven times its estimate.

Rupert Banner, Group Motoring Director and one of the auctioneers for the sale commented: ‘We were bowled over by today’s result. A 100% sold auction is a rare occurrence, especially one with such a vast quantity of lots. It was a pleasure to be able to find new owners for vehicles that had been treasured for so long. The result shows that the enthusiasm for veteran and vintage vehicles remains strong and that the Ford and Lincoln marques still have a global appeal.
