So from the listing we can assume it was the 2.9 that has been sold.

 

What about 0456am or 0402am?

 

2.9 was a done deal shortly after Amelia.

 

Slightly easy answer. Jon Shirley won Pebble Beach twice over the past decade with both his Alfa Romeo 8C2.9B and #0402AM. In 2021 he sold them to Europe (Italy via Simon Kidston?) and in return got a 8C2300 Monza and an unknown sum of cash. The deal was certainly not large enough to value it at anywhere near $100mm.

The fact remains is despite being fabulous cars even the 375 Plus is simply not that valuable with even the 375 Plus offered at Bonhams in 2014 fetching $20 mm USD. So even if we take a growth in the market of 100% and another value modifier because the 375 Plus had issues (100%) we end with $80 mm. Meanwhile 375MM can be pegged by the ex Kimberly Pininfarina Spider selling for $9.075 mm in 2013 and the Ghia Coupe offered at RM in 2019 for between $5 - 7 mm. Either would require such an increase for quality and timing as to be preposterous. And for that matter the later 290MM, 315/335S and 250 Testa Rossa are all known as being very well engineered, road worthy and sexy as hell such as that cars made prior to 1956 and post 196 are at a disadvantage. I am guessing somewhere more like $30 - 40 mm are more realistic

 

In 2014 Bonhams sold 375 Plus #0384 for £10,753,500 GBP (US$ 13,409,546) inc. premium.

 

And 0816?

 

Don't you mean probate?

 

Cool, point noted. Hope you are well

 

Possibly. Who knows.

 

If remember correctly, an amount around the $35 - 40 mm USD mark when sold in 2018. It was a far more specialized piece of kit than the Testa Rossa's and I cannot imagine anyone actually driving it on a road so much of the potential fun of ownership must be considered. As must a certain design angle and while I personally like the early P car styling it lacks the curvaceous beauty of Scaglietti's best work.

 

250 P.

Body designed by Pininfarina and built by Fantuzzi.

 

Sale was 2018. At that time based on pound/dollar exchange, this was equivalent to US $18.3MM.

 

375 Plus #0384 sale = 27th June, 2014.

Mecum have announced their first lots for Monterey 2022 which are some mighty fine Marmons and a Ferrari 250GT Tour de France with stories (#0899GT). Failed at Bonhams in 2016 but for a value pick its hard to beat. That said Mecum are always expensive vis a vis the big three so possibly not that much value!

It's a tricky one. With the downturn in the worlds stockmarkets (S&P 500 down 19% since the SOTY, NASDAQ down 28%) there will be a lot of cash money searching for a relatively liquid home. OTOH does three of the same car offered over a weekend flood the market? I would guess not in this case since they will be quite different cars with different appeals. #0899GT needs to be sold for whatever its worth and as an entry level TdF with obvious needs (as noted) but also a ticket to all but the very best events both a hard sell and potentially a good buy but at perhaps 30-50% discount from a good example. Say $3 - 3.5 mil would make it a good buy and get rid of the thing. Its Mecum so it could fetch more, especially if the bar is open long enough?

 

I've got the fever for one pretty bad lately and plan on attending..

 

I was thankfully talked out of it by a very respected fchatter - so the search and journey will continue !

 

Mecum has not been terribly successful with sales of collectible Ferrari.

 

Much excitement over the last few days with Gooding announcing the Bill Wonder collection of mainly sports racing cars, Bonhams also announcing various interesting cars. RM has trumped all though with the announcement of the Masterworks of Design collection. This collection seems to have some connection to the Blackhawk museum in Danville, California. Indeed much of this collection has been a mainstay of Bonhams auctions over the past five or so years and certainly the Alfa 8C, Bucciali and Mercedes have all been displayed in the museum and offered by both. Here they afford RM a third evening and perhaps 30 cars that should hit the million dollar mark. I haven't included Mecum who remain somewhat oblique with their offerings but the highlights (anything reasonably expected to sell for over a million) so far announced are:
