Bidders are advised to carefully read through the Conditions of Business prior to participating in the auction. We invite you to contact us should you have any questions or view our FAQ page for further details.
Please note the name or company you use to register under will be noted on the final invoice if you are successful, and we can only receive payment from the exact same name or company. Please be aware that invoicing details cannot be altered once the lot is won.
Bidders will only be able to view their own bid amounts and can place as many bids as desired while the auction is open. A 90-second auto-extension will be triggered if a client is ranked in the top three bids during the last 90 seconds of the auction.
Following a successful purchase at auction, bidders are advised that payment should be initiated by 5:00 p.m. the next working day following the close of the auction. Payment is to be completed via wire transfer. The successful bidder will receive a copy of their Bill of Sale and instructions to remit payment via email.
Buyer’s Premium
For Sealed lots, there is no buyer's premium and the final sale price will remain confidential.
Taxes/Import Duties
Buyers are responsible for any applicable duty and/or local taxes on any lots purchased. International bidders are advised to inform themselves of potential import duties that would be due upon the arrival of the lot at its final destination. You are advised to speak with your local representatives in advance of the sale to understand what these costs may be. Please note for any car that has entered the sale on a temporary import bond, an administrative fee will be charged to the buyer to oversee the customs entry formalities.
Although bidding is open to participants worldwide, prospective bidders should be aware that this vehicle was manufactured to European specifications and does not comply with applicable United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) or Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emissions requirements. As such, this vehicle is not eligible for importation into the United States at this time.
RM Sotheby's makes no representation or warranty that this vehicle can be modified, certified, or otherwise federalized for compliance with US regulations. Furthermore, due to its age, the vehicle will not qualify for exemption from these requirements and therefore cannot be legally imported into or registered within the United States for approximately ten (10) years.
Given this vehicle is currently in Canada under a temporary import arrangement, the successful bidder will be responsible for either (i) exporting the vehicle from Canada in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, or (ii) arranging for its permanent importation and registration within Canada. All costs, taxes, duties, fees, and compliance requirements associated with export, import, registration, and transportation shall be the sole responsibility of the purchaser.
Buyers are required to make immediate arrangements for the collection and transport of purchased lots. It is the buyer’s responsibility to make their own arrangements, but RMS is pleased to offer our clients the services of the following companies for motor car shipping:
