250 GTO at no reserve at Quail - BONHAMS

current owner?

 

Quite a result for Bonhams to consign that.

 

What a scoop for Bonhams, RM and Gooding must be kicking themselves.

There's surely a good chance this will almost double the NART Spider and maybe even the Fangio Mercedes. Maybe?!

Does anyone remember the last time a GTO was offered publicly at auction?

 

The late Fabrizio Violati's "Collezione Maranello Rosso"

 

Rear tires look very fat no? I like it.

 

Louwman.

 

Not surprising. Louwman bought the Violati Collection and at least co owns Bonhams.

 

That was yesterdays price. I say $60-70m. Even $75m.
Its the next step before $100m.

 

I expect quite a spectacle. It all depends on who shows up (or phones it in).

 

With buyers premium included, I would say 68-70M USD.

 

Louwman is major shareholder of Bonhams.

Marcel Massini

 

Oh, they'll all be there, at least on the tele.

 

3851 GT was involved in fatal accident in Paris early 60's. Owned by Violati since 1965.
Last GTO at auction was Patrick Ma's at Bonhams Gstaad December 2000. Now owned by Chip Connor.

Marcel Massini

 

Interesting. By some very rough calculations I figure in good old US 100's that is about half the cars weight in currency.

 

65m.

 

Hope Bonhams does an online stream like Gooding & RM, the auction is going to be packed.

 

This will be cool!

 

If those are the wrong tires, they should at least knock a grand off the price.

 

Definitely, anyone know if Bonhams will be streaming online?

 

This will be interesting. Probably a seminal moment in auction history. I think it will be just under 65 million US.
