On 10 May 2019, Sotheby’s and RM Sotheby's announced a new series of online-only, single-lot and capsule automobile auctions. Hosted on Sotheby’s newly developed digital auction platform, the sales offered new and seasoned collectors alike a unique process for discovering and acquiring cars specifically for the new format.

While the sale format was new, the quality of cars for auction on the digital platform was consistent with Sotheby’s and RM Sotheby’s offerings and was subject to RM’s mechanical and cosmetic inspection process. Further, the cars offered were available for in-person viewing and inspection at RM Sotheby’s Auburn, Indiana facilities.

Sellers and buyers were also presented with the same concierge-level service offered by Sotheby’s and RM Sotheby’s, assisting clients from the moment of consignment through to final transaction and transportation.
