An institution for over 25 years, the historic Monterey auction is held at the Portola Hotel & Spa, steps away from downtown Monterey and Fisherman’s Wharf. The spacious plaza, ballroom, and lobby at the Portola present ample room and comfort to preview the diverse offering of high-caliber automobiles that this sale attracts.

 

Along with the auction excitement, the entire week is filled with automotive events from historic racing to festivals to concours events. The week culminates with the famed Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. RM’s Monterey auction smashes records year after year, and 2013 saw $125 million in cars sold over two days of passionate bidding.
