From post-war Italy is another cabriolet sportscar of renown – the 1951 Ferrari 212 Inter Vignale
Cabriolet (chassis number 0159E). This Classiche-certified Prancing Horse is an exquisite and mighty
open-top expression of the venerable 212. It’s well documented, impressively restored, and is a Pebble
Beach Concours d’Elegance award winner. Exceptionally rare and exceedingly usable, this celebrated
Ferrari is an iconic embodiment of mid-century automotive glamour and supremacy. |
Also featured will be the Philip Reed Collection of southern California. Featuring 16 automobiles, most of
which are pre-war American and European, the entire collection is to be offered with no reserve. Reed was
well-known and respected in the collector car world, particularly as an active member, former president and
board director of the Horseless Carriage Club of America, and his collection includes such Brass Era
rarities at the 1901 Winton he bought from Gene Autry and the fascinating 1902 Boyer – the only one of its
kind known to exist. |
And, true to Bonhams’ reputation for exemplary breadth and variety of collectors’ cars, on offer will also be
two ultimate supercars – a 2008 Koenigsegg CCX Coupe and 2008 Bugatti Veyron 16.4. |
Bonhams’ 9th annual Scottsdale, Arizona auction will take place on Thursday, January 16th at the
award-winning Westin-Kierland Resort & Spa. With hassle-free accessibility, ample parking, plenty of first
class amenities, and a lovely garden party atmosphere, the Bonhams sale at the Westin-Kierland is one of
the most anticipated auctions of the year. |
