My warmest congratulations go to Adolfo Orsi on reaching this extraordinary milestone. Over the 30 years since he first conceived and published his groundbreaking catalogue, the Yearbook has earned itself a well-deserved reputation as the undisputed "go-to" guide for classic car enthusiasts, owners and auction houses right around the world.

UBS is a proud sponsor of the Yearbook. We have tremendous admiration for the dedication and meticulous attention to detail Adolfo brings to collecting and analyzing the wide-ranging data contained in it, and our collaboration with him is testament to our shared commitment to excellence, quality and precision in everything we do.

A great deal has changed in the world since the first Classic Car Auction Yearbook was published three decades ago. But one thing has stayed the same: the passion felt by automotive devotees for aesthetic design coupled with engineering genius. The Yearbook remains to this day the most reliable and comprehensive source of data and analysis on market developments in the field of classic cars.

I wish you a very enjoyable and informative read.
