RM Auctions has come a long way in relatively few years. The Canadian automotive auction house has only been around a couple of decades – a drop in the bucket compared to rivals like Bonhams, Gooding & Co or even Barrett-Jackson – but has quickly become one of the biggest names in the business, gaining access to places like Maranello and Villa d’Este where no other auction house has gone before.
Only a few months ago, RM Auctions announced the acquisition of Auctions America, and now is adding a motorcycle division to its expanding portfolio with the takeover of Bator Vintage Motorcycle Auctions. The integration gives Auctions American by RM a solid foothold in collector motorcycles. It also brings with it the talents of company founder Glenn Bator (pictured above), a noted vintage motorcycle expert and former curator of the Otis Chandler museum, the collection of the publishing magnate that was liquidated to the record tune of million after its namesake founder’s passing.
Bator and RM will be holding their first post-merger motorcycle auction during the Auburn Cord Duesenberg festival in Auburn, Indiana, this September. Details of the announcement in the press release after the jump.
