LONDON, ENGLAND – May 9, 2024 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – RM Sotheby’s is delighted to announce an incredible selection of exciting consignments for its inaugural Cliveden House sale, hosted in the heart of the Berkshire countryside, just a stone’s from London. In what is set to become an annual fixture in the calendar, the auction will perfectly complement RM Sotheby’s long-standing London sale held in November.

Star of the show will be the 1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta by Scaglietti. One of Maranello’s most revered models, it featured a shorter wheelbase than the 250 GT TdF, as well as a lighter chassis and more aerodynamic bodywork. Beneath that coachwork lay a mighty 3-litre Colombo V-12, in addition to disc brakes all round, which helped make the model incredibly successful in motorsport. The 34th of 165 examples built, this car was subject to a full restoration by Carrozzeria Autosport in 2009 and is offered with Ferrari Classiche certification, in addition to documented ownership by marque historian Marcel Massini (Estimate: £5,000,000 – £6,000,000).

It is not just supercars from the 1960s that will be offered at Cliveden House, with an extremely rare and beautifully specified 2014 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse sure to cause a stir. One of just 92 Grand Sport Vitesses ever built, this was the Bugatti model that set a record for the world’s fastest open-top production sports car in 2015, clocking a speed of 254.04 mph. Presented in eye-catching Blue-Black over a Tangerine Leather interior, this wonderfully optioned supercar has just 4,086 kilometres on the clock and documented service history with HR Owen Bugatti London. Arguably the definitive hypercar, this ground-breaking machine is estimated to sell between £2,000,000 – £2,500,000.

A further Ferrari highlight at Cliveden is the 1967 Ferrari 330 GTS by Pininfarina.One of Ferrari’s most beautiful high-performance open-top…
