Classic Car Auction Yearbook

Dr. Orsi and Mr. Gazzi have an enviable skill for considering vast amounts of data on the $1.2 billion-plus annual collector car market, presenting it in salient graphs and each year coming up with new and insightful ways to make sense of it. Even more remarkably they make reading about it enjoyable and easy to understand.

The Classic Car Auction Yearbook 2015-2016 includes results from 107 individual auctions in the U.S., the U.K, Europe, Australia and the Far East. That number is, as anyone paying attention would expect, up substantially from the 94 auctions in the previous Yearbook. Similarly, the current Yearbook describes 5,644 individual transactions, up from 5,154 last year.
