The Maranello event also marked the auction debut for one of the world’s most important Ferrari memorabilia collections – Jacques Swaters’ famed Garage Francorchamps Collection. The top seller of the collection was the one-of-a-kind 1980 Ferrari Pinin four-door prototype, which brought an impressive $272,360 and many other items were sold for exceptional prices, several of which had been personally signed by Jacques Swaters himself who was sitting in the front row throughout the auction. Commenting on the sale, Filippo Lotti, Managing Director of Sotheby’s Italy, said: “We are delighted with the results for the Maranello sale, in particular the price achieved for the 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder, which set a new record for any car sold at auction. The results are a true testament to the combination of Sotheby’s and Ferrari’s expertise and international profile, and RM Auctions’ knowledge and record of success.”

RM Auctions will return to Europe in October for the annual Automobiles of London auction event in Battersea Park. Held in the heart of London, England, the level of entries to the sale will be second to none, headlined by a stunning Bugatti Type 57C Atalante. Next month however, it is back to North America for RM Auctions as they present two significant, private Southern Californian collections for auction – the esteemed Joe MacPherson Collection and the renowned Art Astor Collection, closely followed by their Vintage Motor Cars of Meadow Brook and Sports & Classics of Monterey events in August.
