After its record-breaking McLaren F1 auction in London, RM Auctions is preparing for another big one in Arizona, this time presenting mostly classic cars. The Automobiles of Arizona auction will take place on January 16 at the Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa in Phoenix, Arizona. Among the featured lots are a 1937 Bugatti 57SC Atalante, 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Roadster, 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 Berlinetta, 1937 Delage D8-120 Aerosport Coupe to name a few.
1996 Ferrari F50 sold
Posted on Nov 3 - Filed Under Cars | View Comments
At the same auction where the record breaking McLaren F1 sale took place, RM Auctions sold a 1996 Ferrari F50 for £319.000 (~$516,365). We wrote about an F50 auction on eBay earlier. That car was listed for $985,000 and – as to our knowledge – went unsold. Unfortunately, we did not record the chassis number for that car and the eBay auction has expired, so there is no easy way to tell, whether these are the same cars. The currently sold one has a chassis number of ZFFTA46B000105193 for future reference. Below are the pictures of this car.
McLaren F1 breaks record at the Automobiles of London auction
Posted on Oct 30 - Filed Under Cars | View Comments
A month ago, we wrote about the upcoming McLaren F1 auction to be held on Oct 29 by RM Auctions in association with Sotheby’s. Partial, unconfirmed results are in through Ultimatecarpage.com
The McLaren F1 auction sets record with the £2,530,000 (~$4,194,234) hammer price
Other high value sales at the same event include:
1965 Ferrari 250 LM Berlinetta – £2,255,000 (~$3,738,339)
1959 Ferrari 250 GT Tour de France – £2,255,000 (~$3,738,339)
1938 Bugatti Type 57C Atalante – £660,000 (~$1,094,148)
Both Sotheby’s and RM Auctions removed the auction details from their websites. I assume only for the time being until they record the results. Once we have confirmed information from either of them, we’ll update this post.
