BLENHEIM, Ontario, 23 December, 2019

RM Sotheby’s headline entries for the auction are led by an elegant 1958 Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet Series I by Pinin Farina, considered the quintessential open-top gentleman’s Ferrari.

Ferrari’s road cars of the 1950s and 60s were some of the fastest and most desirable automobiles on the planet, all in an effort to support the company’s indomitable reputation on the track. Dripping with sophistication, the built-for-touring 250 GT Cabriolet Series I benefitted from smooth and unobstructed lines defined by its covered headlamps, bumperettes, and graceful taillights artfully crafted into the rear wings. Considered by many to be one of Pinin Farina’s most elegant designs, ownership of a 250 GT Cabriolet showcased not only an appreciation of engineering and performance but also a refined taste in transportation.

·

Among the most intricate, well-wrought supercars ever produced, a 2018 Pagani Huayra Roadster, the

42nd of 100 built, finished in stunning Blue TriColore with exposed carbon weave trim throughout and having accrued less than 200 miles (Est. $2,500,000 - $2,700,000);

RM Sotheby’s auction is also highlighted by a private collection featuring an eclectic lineup of 18 motor cars, appealing to various tastes and budgets and offered almost entirely without reserve. Leading the group is the original supercar, a stunning Rosso Corsa 1971 Lamborghini Miura P400 SV by Bertone, one of 150 Miura SVs produced, of which only 70 were built in 1971, the first production year. Offered from just three owners since new and under the care of its current owner for the last 40 years, this Miura is one of few upgraded with a rare dry sump system. With a wailing V-12 engine as its power source, the potent Miura cranks out an impressive 385 bhp. As the ultimate iteration of the car that unquestionably put Lamborghini on the map, ownership of a Miura SV should be a requisite for any true aficionado of Italian supercars, and this example is not to be missed (Est. $1,400,000 - $1,600,000). The Miura is joined by a 1967 Maserati Mistral Spyder, one of 125 built, (Est. $450,000 - $550,000); and an extremely rare 1990 Vector W8 Twin Turbo (Est. $300,000 - $450,000).
