Gooding & Co.

Scottsdale, Arizona

January 20-21, 2012

Wherever the gavel is hammered, one can be certin that some of the highest prices realized will come at an auction hosted by David Gooding and Scottsdale was no exception.  With total results of $39.8 million (exceeding last year’s take by almost $5 million), Gooding’s led the way with two of the three highest sales during the week.  Almost every lot offered was rare, interesting or exceptional (in many cases all three) with the open-headlight 250 GT California surprising many at almost $4 million and the world-record price for the Alloy Gullwing drawing the air out of  the room in awe. Even the affordable lots from marques such as MG and Triumph drew impressive results with $77,000 for an MGA Twin-Cam Roadster and $59,4000 for a compelling small mouth 1957 Triumph TR3.
