The Keno Brothers New York City 2015 auction was held November 18-19 at Skylight Clarkson Sq in Soho, New York City, resulting in more than $8.3 million in total sales.

Amidst a full house with a ‘gallery’ emphasis, Keno Brothers Fine Automobile Auctions sought to break new ground in how an auction is presented — utilizing a multi-media experience to tap the imagination of the packed house with roughly 1,500 attendees — creating a first impression for the Keno brand that was defined by a salon setting.

Leslie Keno, Co-CEO of Keno Fine Automobile Auctions, stated “We’ve assembled a world-class team of specialists for each marque, including well-known historians, to provide the provenance of each car with as much clarity as possible.”

The top result at the debut Keno Brothers Fine Automobile Auctions event went to the 1968 Bizzarrini Strada 5300 that sold for $1,010,800, a North American record for a Bizzarrini Strada 5300 at auction. It was followed by the Keno Brothers’ very own 1969 Lamborghini Miura P400 S that hammered sold for $974,400, the 1965 Aston Martin DB5 that made $950,000 and the 1968 Toyota 2000 GT at $683,200.

Other notable results included the 1999 Lamborghini Diablo GT, one of 80 produced and one of six in the U.S., that sold for an auction world-record of $616,000, and the 1929 Bugatti T40 that competed in the Algerian Sahara Rally in 1930 brought $464,800, marking a world record at auction for a Bugatti T40.
