The Riyadh Car Show Auction 2019 - 22nd November 2019

The Riyadh Car Show Auction 2019 2 Welcome Welcome to The Riyadh Car Show 2019. Silverstone Auctions are proud to be here in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, as part of the Riyadh Season inaugural event. By invitation of Seven Concours, Silverstone Auctions are delighted to be hosting the first ever Riyadh Car Show Auction, which forms part of the broader Riyadh Car Show event. The Riyadh Car Show auction is our first sale in the Middle East, and I would therefore like to take the opportunity to provide a brief history on Silverstone Auctions. We are a world-class specialist auction house in the sale of classic cars, supercars and competition cars, and furthermore, we hold the exclusive automotive auction rights to Silverstone Circuit. Since the company was formed in 2011, we have sold over 3,000 cars, with a sale value of £170,000,000, to customers in 31 countries around the world. We select the very best of breed vehicles for our sales which has resulted in us achieving numerous record-breaking auction prices. Coming back to today and our sale here in Riyadh, we are delighted to offer you 45 superb and simply unrepeatable hypercars, supercars and classic cars. Please take your time browsing the catalogue; the star car is a significantly rare 2010 Ferrari 599 GTZ Zagato Nibbio Spyder, two further examples that I will highlight are a rare and pristine 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO, and a one of five, 2015 McLaren P1 XP Carbon Series. If you are unable to attend the sale in person, you can register for absentee bidding whereby you can choose to bid on the telephone, via a commission bid or online with our partner, Proxibid. More information on these methods are detailed here in the catalogue, under ‘ways to bid’. If you are here with us in Riyadh, do not hesitate to ask the team about any of the cars or about the auction process, they will be happy to assist you with your queries. Once again with thanks to Seven Concours, we wish you all a successful event and an enjoyable auction. Nick Whale Managing Director, Silverstone Auctions
