The Global Icons: Spring Online series will take place between May 11 and 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 the Global Icons: Online series, reinforcing its focus on the international collector car market with a catalog that promises to appeal to a wide range of collectors — from fans of European sports cars to enthusiasts of American luxury sedans. The Global Icons: Spring Online auction will take place between May 11 and 18 and will bring together more than 30 vehicles selected for their historical relevance, rarity, and appeal across different generations of enthusiasts.
Among the first confirmed lots are a 1956 Aston Martin DB2/4 Mk 1, a 1989 Ford Sierra RS 500 Cosworth Group A, a 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 motorsport world, a subtle reminder that, in the collectibles market, almost anything can become an object of desire — as long as it has the right pedigree.
According to Broad Arrow, the inaugural edition of the series concluded with €18.3 million in total sales and a 90% sell-through rate, a result that helps explain the continuation of the online format. For the company, the new edition aims to offer both new and returning buyers the opportunity to bid on standout automobiles without the geographical limitations of traditional in-person auctions.
Among the highlighted models, the 1956 Aston Martin DB2/4 Mk 1 is estimated between €120,000 and €140,000. The model, delivered new in Beverly Hills, retains matching numbers and has been restored to its original configuration, featuring Crimson Red paint and a beige leather interior.
The 1989 Ford Sierra RS 500 Cosworth Group A, valued between €180,000 and €200,000, draws attention for its connection to 1980s touring car racing and for having been prepared by Team Imberti without ever officially competing on track.
Among the American models, the 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Series 70 Brougham is estimated between €80,000 and €90,000 and will be offered without reserve.
The sedan, described as one of the most expensive luxury cars of its time, retains features such as a stainless-steel roof and original finishes.
Also without reserve, the 1954 Chevrolet Corvette, estimated between €60,000 and €80,000, represents the early phase of a name that would become one of the most enduring in the North American automotive industry.
Another lot expected to attract attention is the 1983 Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvole, estimated 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 book.
In a catalog full of cars with strong stories, it is the kind of model that needs no introduction — although it never refuses a good spotlight.
Part of the vehicles will be displayed at a live preview event at the Museo Alfa Romeo in Milan, between May 14 and 18. The exhibition will be open to the public and collectors, serving as a physical extension of the digital auction and as an opportunity to closely examine the models before bidding opens and closes, scheduled for May 11 at 10:00 CET and May 18 at 17:00 CET, respectively.
In addition to this sale, Broad Arrow stated that it continues to accept consignments for other European auctions scheduled for 2026, including The Zoute Concours Auction on October 9 and The Zürich Auction on November 7.
