The Global Icons: Spring Online series will take place from May 11 to 18, featuring more than 30 collector cars and a live preview at the Museo Alfa Romeo in Milan.
Broad Arrow Auctions, a company affiliated with Hagerty, has announced the second edition of its Global Icons: Online series, strengthening its commitment to the international collector car market with a catalog that promises to appeal to a wide variety of collectors — from European sports car enthusiasts to fans of American luxury sedans. The Global Icons: Spring Online auction will take place 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 objects 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 and motorsports world, as a subtle reminder that almost anything in 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 a total of €18.3 million in sales and a sell-through rate of 90%, which helps explain the continuation of the online format. For the company, the goal of the new edition is to give both new and returning buyers the opportunity to bid on outstanding cars without the geographic limitations of traditional brick-and-mortar auctions.
Among the highlights announced have Aston Martin DB2/4 Mk 1 from 1956 an estimated value between €120,000 and €140,000. The model, delivered new in Beverly Hills, 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, is attracting attention because of its association with touring car racing in the 1980s and because it was prepared by Team Imberti without ever having officially raced.
Among the American models appears Cadillac Eldorado Series 70 Brougham fra 1957 with an estimated value between €80,000 and €90,000 and will be offered without a minimum price.
The sedan, described as one of the most expensive luxury cars of its time, retains elements such as a stainless steel roof and original details.
Also without a minimum price 1954 Chevrolet Corvetteestimated between €60,000 and €80,000, representing the early phase of a name that would later become one of the most enduring in the North American automotive industry.
Another object expected to attract attention is Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvole between 1983with an estimated value between €70,000 and €90,000.
Finished in Bianco and with just over 49,000 km, the sports car was delivered new in Munich and comes with original manuals and a stamped service booklet.
In a catalog full of cars with strong stories, this is a model that needs no introduction — although it never says no to a good presentation.
Some of the vehicles will be showcased during a live preview event at the Museo Alfa Romeo in Milan from May 14 to 18. The exhibition will be open to the public and collectors and act as a physical extension of the digital auction, as well as giving the opportunity to see the models up close before the bidding opens and closes, respectively scheduled for 11 May at 10:00 CET and 18 May at 17:00 CET.
In addition to this sale, Broad Arrow stated that it is still accepting consignments for other European auctions scheduled for 2026, including The Zoute Concours Auction on October 9 and The Zurich Auction on November 7.
