Yes, he is an amazing success story. FYI: RM auction in Marenello Italy at the Ferrari Factory May 20. Some classic and rare Fcars up for grabs.
RM is a Canadian founded company. Rob Myers started restoring cars in his garage in the 70's and has evolved into a world class vintage restoration and auction house. Cars are sent to his facility from all around the globe. Customers include Sheiks from Saudi Arabia to Celebrities from Hollywood. His restorations are usually from the grand old Marques ie: Duesengerg, Ducatti, Packard to name a few. I have seen Ferrari's, Mercedes, a Tucker, also at his shop. Tours are available. It's just off the 401 at HWY 40 Chatham turnoff. www.rmauctions.com. check it out. I think Barret Jackson holds auctions only on consignment basis. They seem to promote mainly American Muscle Cars. I don't think they restore. They definitely have driven up the price of vintage cars.
