Radius by Broad Arrow in Monterey

Broad Arrow‘s Radius Auction at The Monterey Jet Center proved to be a success on the heels of Motorlux 2023. Held the evening before the auction started and attended by a sold-out crowd of more than 3,000, along with fine dining and entertainment, guests at Motorlux were treated to a preview of the 170 cars set to cross the auction block the next day.

A very strong sell-through rate of 84% with total sales of $57.5 million proved the decision to expand to a two-day sale was the right move. Ferraris, Duesenbergs, and Mercedes-Benz made up a sizable portion of the top ten most expensive cars sold at the Radius Auction.
