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.
Hagerty-affiliated Broad Arrow Auctions has announced the second edition of its Global Icons: Online series, further strengthening its presence in the international collector car market with a catalog aimed at a wide range of collectors — from European sports car enthusiasts to American luxury sedan enthusiasts. The Global Icons: Spring Online auction runs from May 11-18 and features more than 30 vehicles selected based on their historical significance, rarity and cross-generational appeal.
Among the first confirmed lots is a 1956 Aston Martin DB2/4 Mk 1, a 1989-es Ford Sierra RS 500 Cosworth Group Aa 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 automobiles and motorsport, subtly reminding us that almost anything can become a desired object on the collector’s market — if it has the right “pedigree”.
According to Broad Arrow, the inaugural edition of the series closed with a total of €18.3 million and a 90% sell-through rate, which explains the continuation of the online format. According to the company, the new edition aims to provide both new and returning buyers with the opportunity to acquire outstanding cars without the geographic limitations of traditional in-person auctions.

The 1989 Ford Sierra RS 500 Cosworth Group A, estimated at between €180,000 and €200,000, is particularly notable for its association with touring car racing in the 1980s and because it was prepared by Team Imberti but never officially raced on a track.
American models include the 1957-es Cadillac Eldorado Series 70 Brougham It is listed with an estimate of between €80,000 and €90,000 and will be auctioned without a reserve price.

Another item that is expected to attract a lot of attention is a 1983-as Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvolewhose estimated value is between 70,000 and 90,000 euros.
Finished in Bianco with just over 49,000 km on the clock, the sports car was delivered new in Munich and is offered with original manuals and a stamped service book.
In a catalog full of cars with strong stories, this model typically needs no introduction — though it never turns down a good showcase.
Some of the vehicles will be on display at a live preview at the Museo Alfa Romeo in Milan from May 14 to 18. The exhibition is open to the public and collectors, and serves 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 bids, which are on May 11 at 10:00 CET and May 18 at 17:00 CET.
