My car will be displayed on Saturday,and I'm going to the Concours on Sunday. When will this auction take place? How may I get a catalog,or is it only digital?
There will be
four(!!) auctions this year. Broad Arrow will be doing the "main" auction on the grounds. Then there's RM Sotheby's, Gooding, and Bonham's. All are at different times and in different places. Broad Arrow has the most annoying catalog, having to flip through the pages there. I am not sure if it's digital only but I know a guy who works there and I'll be happy to see if he can send a physical catalog to you if you're interested.

As for details...
Broad Arrow auction on the grounds takes place on Saturday starting at 10:30 with previews the Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
RM has their auction at 4171 Amelia Island Parkway off-site starting at 12:00 on Saturday, which will be interesting. Previews are open on Thursday and Friday.
Gooding has their auction at Omni Resort's "Racquet Park," and likewise has viewings on Wendesday, Thursday, and Friday, but it seems to me that the auction itself is being held on both Thursday and Friday. Sot his auction doesn't compete with the other two.
Bonhams' auction appears to start on Thursday at 10:00 and has some
extremely interesting cars, as an aside. I mean, they all do, but a quick comment on their catalog...
I mean, yeah its' cool having an F40 or a Buggati or Duesenberg or whatever, but there's some real pieces of history there. One of the XK120s for Le Mans with real racing history, a Facel Vega Facel II, a Facel Vega HK500 Coupe, a Facel Vega Excellence EX1 Sedan, and that incredible Lister-Jaguar racer. Some of these have been in super long term ownership, too. Love seeing that. Never seen so many Facel Vegas for sale in one place. If I collected cars, my atypical collection might have one of the coupe Facels, an Iso Rivolta, a Glas GT cabriolet, Citroen SM, and 2000CS.
Just noticing another E9 in their catalog, too:

The ownership history inspired confidence. One would assume Gordon McCall, former owner, would care for his vehicles. I believe his business (Motorworks Revival, now called Motorlux) was just acquired by the rapidly-expanding Hagerty.
