Joining the E-Type is another Brit restored to Concours standard, a 1958 AC Ace Roadster,estimate
$325,000 – 375,000, offered from a prominent US-based collection of show winners. The Ace has itself won
many trophies at major Concours since its debut at various Concours d'Elegance events. |
At the later end of the automotive timeline is a trio of modern classic supercars offered from a prominent
Reno, Nevada-based collection. An emblem of the 1980s is the 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th
Anniversary, estimate $300,000 – 350,000, considered the most desirable variant of the Bertone-designed
model. This well-preserved example, in highly original condition inside and out, has covered fewer than
11,000 kilometers. |
One of its contemporary rivals was the Ferrari 512 TR, which offered improved dynamics over the preceding
Testarossa - and a faster top speed of 195mph. This 1992 car is the first of two pre-production US market
Prototypes. Highly original and well-preserved, the TR has covered fewer than 20,700 miles from new and
benefits from a recent major service by a Ferrari specialist. It is offered with fitted Schedoni leather luggage
and has an estimate of $275,000 – 325,000. |
