The Global Icons: Spring Online series will take place from May 11 to 18 with more than 30 collector cars and a live preview at the Museo Alfa Romeo in Milan.
Broad Arrow Auctions, a Hagerty affiliate, has announced the second edition of the Global Icons: Online series, strengthening its position in the international collector car market with a catalog expected to appeal to very different types of collectors — from fans of European sports cars to enthusiasts of American luxury sedans. The Global Icons: Spring Online auction will run from May 11 to 18 and will bring together more than 30 vehicles, selected for their historical significance, rarity and appeal across different generations of enthusiasts.
Among the first confirmed lots is a 1956 Aston Martin DB2/4 Mk 1, a Ford Sierra RS 500 Cosworth Group A fra 1989a 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Series 70 Brougham, a 1954 Chevrolet Corvette and a 1983 Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvole. The selection will also include memorabilia related to the automotive world and motorsports, as a subtle reminder that almost anything on the collector’s market can become a sought-after object — as long as it has the right pedigree.
According to Broad Arrow, the first edition of the series ended with total sales of €18.3 million and a sell-through rate of 90%, a result that explains the continuation of the online format. For the company, the new edition aims to give both new and returning buyers the opportunity to bid on prominent cars without the geographic limitations of traditional brick-and-mortar auctions.
Among the announced highlights have Aston Martin DB2/4 Mk 1 from 1956 an estimated price between 120,000 and 140,000 euros. Delivered new in Beverly Hills, the model has matching numbers and has been restored to its original configuration with Crimson Red paint and beige leather interior.
The 1989 Ford Sierra RS 500 Cosworth Group A, estimated at between 180,000 and 200,000 euros, is attracting attention because of its connection to touring car racing in the 1980s and because it was prepared by Team Imberti without ever having officially competed on the track.
Among the American models stands out Cadillac Eldorado Series 70 Brougham fra 1957 with an estimated value between 80,000 and 90,000 euros and will be offered without a minimum price.
Described as one of the most expensive luxury cars of its time, the sedan retains elements such as a stainless steel roof and original finishes.
Also without a minimum price 1954 Chevrolet Corvetteestimated at between 60,000 and 80,000 euros, representing the beginning of a name that would later become one of the most enduring in the North American automotive industry.
Another lot that is expected to attract a lot of attention is Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvole between 1983with an estimated value between 70,000 and 90,000 euros.
Finished in Bianco and with just over 49,000 km driven, the sports car was delivered new in Munich and comes with original manuals and a stamped service book.
In a catalog full of cars with strong stories, it’s a model that needs no introduction — although it never says no to a good display.
Some of the vehicles will be shown at a live preview at the Museo Alfa Romeo in Milan from May 14 to 18. The exhibition will be open to the public and collectors and will act as a physical extension of the digital auction as well as an opportunity to see the models up close before the opening and closing of the bids, scheduled for May 11 at 10:00 CET and on 18 May at 17:00 CET.
In addition to this sale, Broad Arrow stated that it continues to receive consignments for other European auctions scheduled for 2026, including The Zoute Concours Auction on October 9 and The Zurich Auction on November 7.
