RM Sotheby’s July 2026 calendar moved between Germany, Britain, Abu Dhabi and a confidential online sale. Here are the actual headline cars and published results from each event, followed by what those numbers reveal about the collector market.
The four July auction formats
Tegernsee reached €10.5 million with 91 percent sold
The Lake Tegernsee sale offered 20 cars and four memorabilia lots. RM Sotheby’s reported €10.5 million in total sales and a 91 percent sell-through rate.
A 2009 Ferrari 599XX Evo led at €2,536,250, followed by a 2023 Ferrari 812 Competizione at €1,467,500 and a 2004 Porsche Carrera GT at €1,445,000. The top three combined track-only Ferrari technology, a limited modern V12 and an analogue supercar benchmark.
Woodcote Park became a £16 million UK sale
The inaugural Woodcote Park auction grossed £15,975,765. A 1990 Ferrari F40 modified by Michelotto for Jean Sage sold for £3,605,000, while a 1993 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 3.8 Strassenversion reached £3,492,500.
The Porsche result was especially notable because the car was one of two road versions with a fully trimmed interior and showed only 10 kilometres. A 1966 Aston Martin DB5 Shooting Brake by Radford completed the top three at £848,750.
Abu Dhabi tested a cross-category luxury format
The Abu Dhabi Collectors’ Edit ran online from 23 June to 10 July and combined cars with watches, jewellery, handbags and high-performance bikes. That approach positioned automobiles inside a broader luxury collecting ecosystem rather than as a separate category.
For car buyers, the practical details remained familiar. RM Sotheby’s applied a 10 percent buyer’s premium plus applicable VAT to motor cars, stored the lots in Dubai and placed title-transfer responsibility within the UAE process.
Sealed July prioritised discretion over public pricing
The Sealed July format closed on 16 July and featured cars in different locations. Its confidential bidding structure carried no buyer’s premium, and final sale prices were not published.
That makes the sale less useful for public price comparisons but potentially attractive for significant cars whose owners value privacy. The black Ferrari F50 showed how a detailed catalogue can still add market knowledge even when the transaction price remains undisclosed.
The common thread was specificity
The strongest results were not attached to vague claims of rarity. Each leading car had a precise explanation: an XX Programme Ferrari upgraded to Evoluzione specification, a Michelotto-modified F40 with Jean Sage provenance or one of two unusually configured Porsche RSR road cars.
For the wider market, July’s results reinforce a disciplined pattern. Collectors continue to pay for cars that combine identity, documentation and condition. Limited production alone is not enough when the history or specification is difficult to verify.
