If the Bentley Continental GT is too common for one, one might wish to look at the Zagato GTZ. Based on the ever popular Continental GT, the well renowned Italian Coachbuilder Zagato Cars have entirely re-sculpted the familiar Bentley.
Although all changes were subtle except for the rear end, typical of Zagato’s transformations – every panel and every stitch received Zagato details. A fine vehicle, originally offered at $1.7 Million via JamesList.com can now be had for $1.3 Million at British Motor Cars of San Francisco, California.

Wayne Thiebaud’s painting titled “Ripley Street Ridge” was bought for $1,022,500 during Christie’s Post-War And Contemporary Art auction in New York on May 14. I for one love this painting a lot. As the lot note describes it well, Thiebaud captures something very uniquely Californian so well on this painting. And it’s more than the obvious, the landscape and lights.
Back in April, we wrote about the Ferrari auction to be held by RM Auctions Italy. Partial results are in via Luxist and it is stunning: The 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa was sold for $12.2 million which is a new world record. We will list the million dollar sales once the results are public on RM Auctions, usually within a few days after the auction.
