LONDON, ENGLAND – April 9, 2024 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – No country has produced car designs with greater style than Italy, with many of the world’s most spectacular cars coming from the drawing boards of Italian design houses. RM Sotheby’s is delighted to announce a remarkable offering of Italian design icons coming to the Grimaldi Forum from 10-11 May 2024 for an impressive two-day auction. The sale will be RM Sotheby’s largest presentation of fine motor cars in Monaco since the inaugural auction in 2010.

One of the standout consignments of the sale is a 1972 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spider by Scaglietti. Classiche certified, this is a beautiful example of one of Ferrari’s most iconic V-12 grand tourers. This Daytona has been subject to cosmetic restoration by Carrozzeria Zanasi with mechanical work overseen by Joe Macari. The car is one of just 19 made in left-hand-drive for the European market and is further accompanied by a copy of a Ferrari Certificato d’Origine and a history report by marque expert Marcel Massini (Estimate: €2,800,000 – €3,200,000 EUR).

Also on offer is a 1962 Ferrari 250 GT/L Berlinetta Lusso by Scaglietti. A stunning example of Ferrari’s achingly pretty Berlinetta Lusso, this is just the fifth made from a production run of only 350 cars. Ferrari Classiche certified, it was restored in 2006 and had its engine rebuilt by a Swiss workshop in 2013. More recently, it was exhibited at Ferrari’s 70th Anniversary Concours d’Elegance event in Fiorano, Italy in 2017 (Estimate: €1,500,000 – €1,750,000 EUR). Another example from Ferrari’s iconic 250 series is a 1959 Ferrari 250 GT Series II Cabriolet by Pinin Farina. The 40th of just 200 examples built, it retains its matching-numbers engine, gearbox, rear axle, and body, and was owned for nearly 27 years by one of France’s most respected collectors, Marcel Petitjean. This fine Rosso Cordoba over Nero interior example is estimated to sell for between €1,000,000 – €1,200,000…
