This prestigious automotive gathering marks a new era for one of Monterey Car Week’s most celebrated sales, relocating to the heart of the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion for the first time in nearly three decades.
A Historic Partnership in an Unforgettable Setting
Bonhams’ multi-year agreement with WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca brings the auction directly into the vibrant paddock atmosphere during one of the most anticipated weeks on the global calendar.

Iconic Vehicles from Racing’s Golden Era
Expect a curated selection of significant automobiles, including machines driven by legends such as Dan Gurney and Jim Clark. These are not merely luxury cars or supercars—they are rolling pieces of motorsport history that embody engineering excellence and racing heritage. Whether your passion lies in pre-war classics, postwar grand prix cars, or modern performance icons, the 2026 auction offers discerning buyers and spectators an intimate look at vehicles that defined eras of speed and innovation.
Why This Automotive Event Stands Apart
Attendees enjoy exclusive access to viewing sessions, expert commentary, and the chance to witness live auctions in a setting that feels both intimate and grand. The paddock location allows seamless exploration between the auction block and the surrounding track activities, fostering connections with fellow collectors, restorers, and industry leaders in an atmosphere of refined exclusivity.
Beyond the hammer prices, the true value lies in the shared passion and storytelling that surround each consigned car. From private viewings to the electric moment when a historic chassis finds its next custodian, every element is designed to create lasting memories for serious enthusiasts.
