'RM Sotheby's has long been the market leader in the sale of important Ferraris at auction, and this year's Monterey offering certainly embodies our expertise,' says Gord Duff, Global Head of Auctions, RM Sotheby's. 'Led by the incredible 250 GTO, our Saturday evening sale session will be dominated by Ferraris, with the 250 MM, 250 GT SWB Alloy, LaFerrari, and more, adding to the excitement. The 29 Ferraris set for Monterey span key moments in the marque's history, from 1950s sports racing through to the most advanced supercars of today. We look forward to uniting these special cars with Ferraristi from around the world at Monterey.'RM Sotheby's 2018 Monterey Ferrari selection counts no less than 29 examples of the prancing horse. Additional highlights include: • The very first time that all three cars to earn the GTO badge in Ferrari's illustrious history will be offered for public sale, an opportunity unlikely to repeat itself. In addition to the 250 GTO (chassis no. 3413), RM Sotheby's will present a 1984 Ferrari 288 GTO showing less than 13,200 actual kilometers (Est. $2,750,000 - $3,250,000), and a well-equipped 2011 Ferrari 599 GTO in striking Nero Daytona with Grigio Silverstone stripe (Est. $575,000 - $650,000); • A 1954 Ferrari 375 America Coupe, chassis no. 0327 AL, a unique creation by coachbuilder Vignale and the 1954 Geneva Motor Show car. Sold new to legendary racing sponsor Robert Wilke of Leader Card fame, the 375 America has enjoyed long ownership history with noted enthusiasts. Finished in its original color scheme and equipped with its original engine, the 375 is one of just 12 ever built and the first example available publicly in seven years (Est. $3,500,000 - $5,000,000); • A 1966 Ferrari 500 Superfast Series II, chassis no. 8459 SF, one of just 12 series II examples built and just eight equipped with right-hand drive. Originally delivered to British sportsman Jack Durlacher in the most desirable configuration with a five-speed transmission and front fender vents, the 500 Superfast is offered in Monterey with its original engine and finished in its original color scheme of Blu Chiaro over Naturale leather (Est. $1,750,000 – $2,000,000); and, • A 1972 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Spider Competizione, chassis no. 15965, the only Competizione-specification 365 GTB/4 built as a spider and showcased by designer Michelotti at the 1975 Geneva Motor Show. Entered in the 1975 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 1978 24 Hours of Daytona, the recognizable Spider has since competed multiple times at both the Tour Auto and Le Mans Classic and remains hugely eligible worldwide for both concours and historic racing events (Est. $2,300,000 - $3,500,000). Held during the world-famous Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance motoring week, RM Sotheby's Monterey sale (24-25 August), has been the pinnacle of collector car auctions for more than 30 years, leading the field and raising the bar with its consistent, record-setting results.
