About Metropole Auction

The Metropole Auction started with a unique opportunity. Metropole had the chance to acquire one of Europe’s most remarkable private Mercedes-Benz collections. Rather than keeping the collection together, the decision was made to make it available to collectors and enthusiasts around the world through a professionally organised auction.

To achieve this, Metropole partnered with Humer Granner and Ni-Cola Classics. Each company brings its own expertise: Humer Granner will auction the automobiles and motorcycles, while Ni-Cola Classics is responsible for the automobilia and furnished rooms.

Together, the three partners have combined their knowledge and experience to create a unique auction event in Feldkirchen an der Donau, Austria, where bidders can participate both online and in person.
