LONDON, ENGLAND – April 30, 2024 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Taking place alongside the legendary Grand Prix de Monaco Historique, RM Sotheby’s returns to the Grimaldi Forum on 10-11 May 2024 for an impressive two-day sale with a truly remarkable offering of automotive greats.

In addition to the previously announced Jody Scheckter Collection, the 20th Century Collection, and the final Porsche 917 to race at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, several more landmark collector cars have just been added to the sale.

One of the standout consignments is the 1958 Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet Series I by Pinin Farina.
