Lovett grew up in an automotive atmosphere. His grandfather traded in early Porsches and Ferraris, founding a dealership back in 1966. His father, meanwhile, raced at Le Mans seven times during a career as works driver for Jaguar and drove BMW touring cars in the UK (and Tom Walkinshaw of Tom Walkinshaw Racing also fits into the picture in the role...
For the past five years or so, Lovett watched the Bring a Trailer phenonemon growing—or better yet, heard it happening among his friends and colleagues. "During 2016 and 2017, when I was coming out to Pebble Beach," he recalled, "You could see the market had hit the peak in 2015 and the market was changing. And this name of Bring a Trailer, I heard...

The first car to sell on Collecting Cars in North America came in the form of a Volkswagen Thing—which hammered at $8,500 with plenty of rusty patina to go along with the wild, boxy style that makes Things so fun. Next up, a Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradalecracked $252,500 (talk about a solid upswing). "There’s a huge amount of savings of cash in the...
