LONDON (06 November, 2015) – RM Sotheby’s, the world’s largest collector car auction house for investment-quality automobiles, returns to Paris, 3 February, 2016, for its annual sale during the world-famous Retromobile show week. With in excess of €19 million worth of fine cars sold at the 2015 sale, the 2016 event will celebrate its third anniversary by bringing more than 60 outstanding automobiles to market during one of the most important weeks on Europe’s classic car calendar.
Leading early entries for RM’s Paris sale is a unique 2004 Ferrari Enzo, chassis no. 135564. Built to a very special specification, the Enzo is finished in Nero Daytona with red ‘Cartier’ upholstery and features a carbon wing and mirror, tinted windows, Enzo monograms, Alpine GPS and audio system, along with a reverse camera. Just 2,500km from new, it is currently going through Ferrari Classiche certification (Est. €1.500.000 - €2.000.000).
“All Ferrari supercars are special, but these two early entries for our Paris sale each boast unique and highly desirable histories along with low, original mileage,” says Max Girardo, Managing Director, RM Sotheby’s Europe. “We’re looking forward to another great sale in Paris to kick off our 2016 European auction calendar.”
Other early entries for the sale include:
- 1978 Ferrari 512 BB, chassis no. 23125 (Est. €400.000 - €450.000)
