[/caption] Villa d’Este is handily right up there with Pebble Beach as one of the most prestigious concours d’elegance events in the world. The automobiles seen each year never cease to amaze, and that includes those in attendance to cross the auction block. This year’s RM auction saw a hand-picked lot of 32 cars which commanded nearly $34 million! The highest bid came for a gorgeous 1955 Ferrari 375 MM Berlinetta (pictured above) at just shy of $4.5 million. The last of just 10 375 MM Berlinettas built, this one-off was specifically designed by…
[/caption] Legendary design house Bertone has seen better times. With the closing of their museum, something had to be done with all the priceless famous concepts developed by the company over the years. Six of these ‘rolling works of art’ will be offered up for public sale for the first time ever at this year’s Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in Cernobbio, Italy on May 21, 2011. Thirty vehicles will cross the block at this year’s RM event, the company’s first at Villa d’Este. Though not exclusive to one manufacturer, the Italian design houses have had…
[/caption] RM has set a new bar for the weekend surrounding the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance. Following Gooding & Company’s auction on Friday, RM not only claimed the sales crown for the weekend, but managed to pull in the highest grossing tally in the event’s 13 year history. “We are thrilled by the results from the weekend’s sale, which represent RM’s best performance to date at Amelia Island. The buyer population appears to be more well-informed than ever, recognizing quality when they see it. In addition, many examples at our Amelia…
[/caption] Two extremely rare Ferraris are going up for grabs at RM’s Amelia Island auction next month. One is a ’53 Ferrari 212 Inter Coupe with Vignale coachwork (s/n 0267 EU) while the other is a 1952 Ferrari 340 Mexico Berlinetta. Though both vehicles are coming from the same collection, that of Larry Nicklin (former car designer and a founding member of the Ferrari Club of America), the condition of these two works varies greatly. In ‘extremely original’ condition, the ’53 212 Inter Coupe is just now emerging after decades in storage, but has…
[/caption] RM’s highly publicized ‘Automobiles of London’ auction last week pulled in more than $30 million.

The top 10 are – James Bond 1964 Aston Martin DB5 – $4,600,000 1938 Talbot-Lago T23 Teardrop Coupe – $2,878,000 2010 Pagani Zonda R – $1,300,000 1931 Bentley 8-litre Open Tourer – $1,215,000 1966 Ferrari 365…

[/caption] Continuing our preview of a number of the vehicles being offered at RM’s ‘Automobiles of London’ event, today is a look at the Ferraris crossing the block next week. Though there are only 9 of Maranello’s finest going up for bids, each is stunning with a considerable pre-auction estimate. While there is an exquisite ’89 F40 and 2004 Enzo representing the modern Ferraris, the classics are headed up by two extremely rare models. One is a ’65 Ferrari 500 Superfast (Chassis #6661SF). It is a late Series 1 matching numbers car and is one…
[/caption] Following last year’s highly successful auction of Ford concept vehicles by RM, the two companies have teamed up again to bring a pair of Ford’s ideas from the past to the block next weekend in Monterey. The more exciting of the two cars is most certainly the Ford Shelby GR-1 Concept built to pay homage to the legendary Daytona Coupe and its 40th anniversary. Not only is it still a sexy design, but was fittingly debuted at Pebble Beach back in 2004. This is the fiberglass design shell featuring the 12-spoke 19″ wheels, but…
