Monterey certainly hasn’t been the same since COVID-19 rocked the world in 2020. Obviously, we saw a huge reduction in listings that year (with many auctions being cancelled, and a few moving online), and the numbers haven’t caught up to pre-pandemic levels since then. This year, Russo & Steele has cancelled their Monterey Auction and Broad Arrow is bringing its inaugural auction to the peninsula.

And it's no surprise to see Porsche and Ferrari as the most represented makes crossing the block this year. Below, we break down the listings at all of the auctions in Monterey by Make:
