“I have been involved in the world of collector car auctions for decades and have come to know the Bonhams team well over that time. With their history, reach and enthusiast point of view, they’re the perfect partners for us here at Audrain and our unrepeatable setting of Newport, Rhode Island. We are looking forward to a long and mutually satisfying relationship here at the Concours & Motor Week and beyond.” Donald Osborne, Audrain CEO.
