RM Sotheby's London sale grossed £23.7 million at The Peninsula in November 2025, led by a Ferrari FXX-K Evo, on the eve of the Veteran Car Run.
RM Sotheby’s held the official auction of London Motor Week at The Peninsula London in Belgravia on Saturday 1 November 2025. The sale fell on the eve of the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run.
The house began in 1976 as a one-man restoration garage in Chatham, Ontario, run by its founder Rob Myers. Its first auction followed in Toronto in 1992, and in 2015 Sotheby’s took a quarter share and the company became RM Sotheby’s.
It set up in London in 2006, and its debut sale there the next year was the largest collector car auction yet held in Britain. The London sale is presented in partnership with the Royal Automobile Club.
The house is title sponsor of the Veteran Car Run itself, so the catalogue runs from cars eligible for the Brighton road to the newest hypercars.
The 2025 sale grossed £23,703,910 in the hotel’s ballroom. A 2015 Ferrari FXX-K Evo led at £4,730,000, and a 1937 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 B Spider made £2,817,500.
A 2024 Aston Martin Valkyrie in the one-off Anemos specification brought £2,226,875. The registration number 1F sold for £905,000, a record for a British number plate at auction.
