Broad Arrow's $92.8M Las Vegas Sale Set an $18.7M Record for the F50

Broad Arrow sold 64 of 84 lots for $92.8 million in a single day at Wynn Las Vegas on October 31, a 76 percent sell-through and what the house calls the highest grossing collector car auction ever held in Las Vegas. A 1997 Ferrari F50 showing 106 miles took $18,705,000, reported as the most valuable F50 ever sold at auction and past the previous world record by more than $4 million. A 2025 Daytona SP3 followed at $18,540,000 and a 2014 LaFerrari at $8,805,000. The 2003 Enzo that led the catalogue in September closed at $6,550,000, near the floor of its published estimate. Ten world record prices were set on the day.

Two figures out of that matter operationally. Two cars cleared $18 million each, and 20 lots did not sell. Every one of those cars has to leave the property this week, and this week Las Vegas belongs to SEMA.

The transport angle

At $18.7 million the cargo certificate stops being the instrument. Per-vehicle cargo limits on enclosed certificates are six and seven figure numbers, and no amount of shopping brokers moves that ceiling into eight figures. A car at this level travels under the owner's own agreed-value policy carrying a transit endorsement that names the move and the value, with the carrier's certificate sitting underneath as a secondary layer. The endorsement has to be in force before the car leaves the property, because an auction house's coverage generally ends at handover. Enclosed shipping insurance sets out how the layers stack and what a certificate actually promises.

The load changes shape too. A car in this bracket does not ride with five others. It moves as a dedicated single-car job, usually with a two-driver team so the trailer is never parked unattended overnight, and with the route planned around secured stops rather than around a dispatch board. That reprices the move from a per-slot number to a per-truck number, which is a different conversation to have before the first quote rather than after. Concours grade transport is the service tier this falls into. The F50, the Enzo, the LaFerrari and the SP3 are all low-nose cars with fixed front aero, so liftgate equipment is the baseline, not an upgrade, and the clearance detail is on our Ferrari shipping page.

The 20 unsold lots are the part nobody plans for. A no-sale is still a transport job, just one with no buyer attached and nobody in a hurry. Consignors pay to move those cars back out, and a car with no new owner is the one most likely to be left until next week. Next week is the wrong week.

SEMA opened at the Las Vegas Convention Center on Tuesday, November 3 and runs through Friday, November 6, with the public day on the 6th. Enclosed capacity across the Southwest is committed to show vehicles coming in, and from Friday afternoon it turns to the teardown going out. The Las Vegas to Los Angeles corridor is the short routine leg and will clear quickly at a price. Anything pointed at Florida or the East Coast is bidding against snowbird volume that was booked weeks ago, on the same trailers.

What to do about it

Settle the insurance before the release, not after. Ask your own agent for a transit endorsement at the hammer price including premium, and ask the transport desk separately for the certificate of the carrier actually assigned, with the per-vehicle limit named on it. If those two numbers do not meet in the middle, the car should stay where it is.

Book per truck and expect a window rather than a date. A dedicated single-car move out of Las Vegas in the first full week of November is an equipment booking, and most of the suitable equipment is either inbound for SEMA or already spoken for.

Photograph the car at release, underside and front splitter included, before it leaves the property. The condition report taken at handover is the only baseline that exists if damage is argued later, and the exotic prep guide has the sequence in order.

If you consigned a car that did not sell, book its outbound move now rather than after the show. Thursday and Friday are the last quiet days on those lanes until the following week.
