ZOUTE, BELGIUM – October 12, 2026 (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Bonhams has confirmed a successful result from its Zoute Grand Prix Sale at Knokke-Heist, Belgium on 11 October. The auction offered 72 vehicle lots, including the Keller Brothers Collection and a highly curated selection of classic and collector cars and Automobilia. 53 vehicle lots sold successfully, delivering a sell-through rate of 76% with the total sale value of €10.2m.

Michael Squire, Head of European Sales for Bonhams, said: “We’re delighted with the outcome of the Bonhams Zoute Sale. The quality of the cars sold, and the results achieved, demonstrates Bonhams’ strength and position within the European classic car market. Being able to offer a no reserve collection of predominantly Italian sports and supercars including a beautiful Lamborghini Miura P400S and Lamborghini Countach 25^th Anniversary from the Keller Brothers Collection, as well as a Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster, shows the breadth of vehicles that clients sell through Bonhams. We now move forwards to the other end of the automotive spectrum. On 30 October, we will host the Golden Age of Motoring Sale at our London New Bond Street headquarters as the traditional curtain raiser to the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run. Then we move to Retromobile Paris, back in our usual home of the Grand Palais on 5 February 2027 and look forward to reporting similar successes.”
