Broad Arrow Auctions kicked off its 2025 auction calendar with the highly successful presentation of The Academy of Art University Collection Auction this past Saturday at the University’s Museum facilities in San Francisco. 105 of the collector car hobby’s most desirable pre- and post-War classics sold—entirely without reserve—achieving $14.5 million in total sales before a packed auction room, in addition to hundreds of bidders both online and on the phones.
Thomas Forrester, Broad Arrow’s Auctioneer for Europe, presided over the sale, which saw enthusiastic bidding from 13 countries and where more than 50 percent of registered bidders participated online. A resounding message that enthusiasm for classic era collector cars remains alive and well.
