About Us

Sotheby's Motorsport is brought to you by Sotheby’s and Motorsport Network. These partners, with RM Sotheby’s as part of Sotheby’s and the Global Leading provider of vintage, sport, exotic and luxury cars along with Motorsport Network, the leader in automotive events, tickets and other automotive culture, came together to bring to you a better way to both sell and buy your automobile.

While other online auction platforms provide a similar service, this is a brand-new, high-touch auction experience for discerning buyers and sellers of 21st century sport, exotic, and luxury cars.

With Sotheby's Motorsport, you'll find a new and improved way to buy and sell these special cars.

This is a place where third-party inspections are the rule, not the exception.
A place where a smooth transaction after the high bid is just as important as the online photos, videos, and comments that set up the online bidding.
A place where the secure transfer of money and ownership documents is taken care of for you.
A place where your confidence, convenience, and peace of mind is the highest priority - finally.

Sotheby's and Motorsport Network, have worked together to bring this carefully designed platform that is able to meet the unmet needs of sophisticated buyers and sellers who want a high-touch, luxury auction experience that matches the quality of their prized automobiles.

The partners launched this platform during Monterey Week of 2023. We currently run 10+ auctions at any one time and will continue to build as we ensure that the experience is as it should be for both seller and buyer. We welcome any comments and suggestions.

In the meantime, be sure to check our selection of vehicles and learn what a truly luxury online auction experience is all about!
