Eighth annual Saratoga Motorcar Auction in September

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. (Aug. 21, 2024) — The eighth annual Saratoga Motorcar Auction, to benefit the Saratoga Automobile Museum, will take place on Friday, Sept. 20 and Saturday, Sept. 21 on the grounds of the Saratoga Casino.

This year’s spotlight will be on three collections that have chosen the Saratoga Motorcar Auction as their auction house. Collections are from philanthropists Ed and Lisa Mitzen as well as Harry Enea. Additionally, five select vehicles from federal court-approved lots from Kris Roglieri to benefit the debtors.

The Roglieri Collection will feature some of the most exotic vehicles in the world, including a 2014 Novitec Ferrari F12 N-Largo — which is one of 11 worldwide to have been manufactured.

“Each year, the trust our consignor community places with our auction grows and these collections are a testament to that fact,” said Bill Windham, auction director.

The auction, taking place over two days, will feature classic and exotic automobiles alongside automotive memorabilia. The Friday run list will take place from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday run list will be from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Earlier on Friday, there will be a public preview from noon to 3 p.m. Following the auction, there will be a post-sale on Sunday, Sept. 22 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
