The second highest seller during the two-day sale was the 1972 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spider by Scaglietti. Classiche certified, and offered with its red book, this was a beautiful example of one of Ferrari's most iconic V-12 grand tourers and achieved a world record €3,436,250 as it crossed the block on Friday. Rounding off the top three sellers in Monaco was a Ferrari of a different era, the pioneering four-cylinder 1954 Ferrari 625 F1, sister car to Ferrari's first World Championship-winning car and the only Ferrari monoposto raced by the legendary Marquis Alfonso de Portago. This matching-numbers example sold well at €2,705,000 EUR. The 1981 Porsche 917 K-81 drew lots of interest as it crossed the block thanks to its fascinating history as the final 917 to have ever raced at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It achieved €2,648,750. Newer but no less special, a 2022 Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 made history as the first of its type to ever be sold at public auction. With just 110 kilometres on the odometer, it set a new world record price for the model, achieving €2,001,875. RM Sotheby's continued its successful form while offering single-owner collections, with many lots from The 20th Century Collection selling well over their high estimates. The collection included a 1962 Aston Martin DB4 Series V Vantage, which achieved €522,500 EUR, in addition to a 1965 Aston Martin DB5 that sold for €376,250 EUR. The Sportiva Collection also performed incredibly well, with the top lot, a 1985 Lancia Delta S4 Rally, making €837,500 EUR, followed closely after by another Italian rally icon with the 1975 Lancia Stratos HF Stradale by Bertone, which brought €590,000 EUR. Top 10 Monaco Sales • 1979 Ferrari 312 T4 €7,655,000 EUR • 1972 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spider by Scaglietti €3,436,250 EUR • 1954 Ferrari 625 F1 €2,705,000 EUR • 1981 Porsche 917 K-81 €2,648,750 EUR • 2022 Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 €2,001,875 EUR • 2020 McLaren Senna GTR 'LM 25' by Lanzante €1,450,625 EUR • 1977 Tyrrell P34 €1,040,000 EUR • 1973 McLaren M23 €1,028,750 EUR • 1971 McLaren M19A €837,500 EUR • 1985 Lancia Delta S4 Rally €837,500 EUR Augustin Sabatié-Garat, Director of Sales, EMEA, said: 'This was the largest sale we have ever brought to Monaco and we couldn't be more delighted with the result. For most of the team, Jody's Ferrari 312 T4 was the highlight of the sale, and to bring that car to the principality where it had enjoyed a famous victory, was a huge thrill. We couldn't be more pleased that it is heading to a wonderful new home, and it reinforces RM Sotheby's undisputed position as the leading auction house for the world's most important Formula One cars.' RM Sotheby's is fast heading to its remarkable Dare to Dream sale, to be held in Toronto and online from 31 May to 5 June, while its next European sale will be the all-new Cliveden House sale in the United Kingdom on 12 June.
