I've received several inquiries about the methodology behind these figures. Let me clarify: I source the daily sales numbers, which are publicly available on most platforms, and then calculate the ratio against the total number of listings a site has for that day.

For instance, Cars & Bids sold 25 cars yesterday out of 30 auctions that concluded. This translates to 25/30×100=83% – their sell-through rate.

The process can be a bit nuanced, especially when certain platforms are hesitant to disclose figures for unsold cars. Fortunately, I have devised strategies to accurately track data across all sites.

As always if you don’t see a site on the leaderboard, it’s because they have sold less than 5 cars. But I am tracking every major car online auction site and now with Sotheby’s Motorsport & PistonHeads I have two more to track, lucky me! 😀

Will there come a time, when Bring A Trailer own less than half the pie? It’s up to others to compete. Can it be done? I think it can.

Some great cars were sold yesterday. For me, bargain of the day was the Gulf Oil Edition CAV GT. See below for my take on it.

Dive into the insights below to uncover each platform's golden era of sales. Furthermore, discern which car vintages resonated across all platforms.

For instance, the 80s classics reigned supreme on Collecting Cars, while the turn of the millennium rides dominated Cars & Bids. Not to be outdone, Bring A Trailer found its niche in the 90s gems. It's worth noting, however, that these insights are based on a single day's data.

Presented below is a heatmap highlighting the top 5 car makes across the top 4 platforms. This visualization clearly indicates the total sale price of each make by its respective platform.

Given that Porsche was the top-seller yesterday, let's delve into the average sale price across platforms to see how they stack up against each other.

After examining Porsche sales, let's turn our attention to BMW. We'll assess the average sales figures and sale quantities from yesterday to discern the differences. Here we can see that Collecting Cars has the highest average selling price, whereas BaT have sold the most.

History Dive 📜: The Ford GT40, a high-performance endurance racing car, was designed to give Ferrari a run for its money (literally) at the Le Mans 24-hour race. It did more than that – it won the race four consecutive times from 1966 to 1969!

🏎️ Auction Spotlight: The 2020 Lotus Evora GT – A Symphony of Heritage & Performance 🏎️

Link to auction here

Today, we're not just talking about a car; we're delving deep into an emblem of British automotive artistry. Allow me to present the 2020 Lotus Evora GT. 🌟

The Lotus Legacy 📜: Founded in 1952 by Colin Chapman, Lotus Cars quickly made a name for itself in the world of motorsport. Chapman's philosophy was simple but revolutionary: "Simplify, then add lightness." This ethos has been carried forward in every vehicle Lotus has created. From the Formula 1 tracks to the quiet lanes of Norfolk, Lotus cars were designed to deliver a pure driving experience.

The Lotus Evora represents a significant chapter in this legacy. Introduced in 2008, it was the first all-new car platform from Lotus since the early '90s. Named after the words Evolution, VOgue, and auRA, the Evora was aimed at combining the track-honed agility Lotus was known for, with everyday usability.

Why the Evora GT is Special 🌟: The 2020 Evora GT is the pinnacle of this model range. It embraces its predecessors' ethos but brings in modern touches, both in terms of performance and luxury. It's a car that feels at home on a twisty backroad, a racetrack, or even a long cross-country cruise.

Under the Hood and Beyond 🛠️: While the supercharged V6 it houses is derived from Toyota (a nod to reliability), everything else about the car screams British racing pedigree. Its lightweight composite body, precision-tuned suspension, and driver-focused cockpit ensure that every drive is an event.

Historical Context: The Evora's design pays homage to Lotus's illustrious past, especially its racing achievements in the 1960s and 1970s, yet it doesn't feel dated. The car's aesthetics, especially in the striking Monaco White, are both timeless and modern.

Moreover, the Evora GT's livery and design cues can't help but remind enthusiasts of the iconic Lotus race cars that once dominated tracks around the world, echoing a time when Lotus was the name to beat in motorsport.

In Summary: This 2020 Lotus Evora GT isn't just a car; it's a piece of automotive history, a testament to British engineering, and a continuation of Colin Chapman's vision. Whether you're behind the wheel or admiring it from afar, the Evora GT promises a connection to a rich legacy of passion, innovation, and the pursuit of driving perfection.

Here's to the lucky individual who gets to call this masterpiece their own. Drive it, cherish it, and remember the legendary journey it represents.
