“This year’s Amelia Island Auction brought fantastic results with 97% sold and five world records, with a couple that surprised us,” said David Gooding, president and Founder of Gooding & Company. “The Rolls-Royce Derby Speedster that more than doubled its estimate and the Fiat 8V Supersonic that soared past its high mark in support of St. Jude remind us of the magic that happens in the auction room.”

Over the years, the auction house has lent its world-renowned auction stage to a variety of charities to raise awareness and funds for important causes. Several years after its first auction record, the spectacular, FIVA-award winning 1953 Fiat 8V Supersonic returned to the public arena yesterday in support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The magnificent car broke its previous ceiling with a record-breaking sale of $1.76 million. Generously, the consignor of the 8V Supersonic donated all of the net sale proceeds to the hospital.
This rare and significant 1929 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Derby Speedster doubled its estimate on Friday, March 8 for a world record-breaking final sale of $1.98 million.
