Jaguar D-type heads successful Broad Arrow sale

Broad Arrow’s Zürich Auction enjoyed a buoyant 87% sell-through rate and achieved total sales of more than CHF 22 million (£20.8 million).

The highest bid of the auction went to a 1951 Jaguar D-type, XKD 551, which made CHF 5,181,250 (£4.9 million).

A much newer British car also caused excitement when a 2024 Aston Martin Valkyrie went under the hammer. The Gloss Storm Purple car sold for CHF 2,706,250 (£2,562,358).

A 1952 Ferrari 212 Europa Pinin Farina Coupé once owned by Ingrid Bergman was another keenly bid lot that ended at CHF 816,250 (£772,850).

Paul Gaucher, Head of Consignments for Broad Arrow Switzerland, said: ‘Switzerland is well known for its love of cars and it was a pleasure to bring such a special event to Zürich.

‘In addition to a stunning range of classic cars, we also presented a number of modern classic cars and supercars, designed to appeal to a new generation of enthusiasts. Our sales success proves collector cars are multi-generational and Broad Arrow will continue to offer special cars that appeal to a wide range of buyers.’
