My guess is this car will almost certainly be a 'Reserve Not Met'. Mecum is famous for dangling unobtainable/attention getting candy (for the press and eyeballs) that he has ZERO intention of actually selling. .
the owner is 87 If it does not sell, the car will go to his children they will sell it for less, as they want the money so why should he keep the car?
Selling a high profile car at auction may impact the market (if the price is lower than expected), which is not in the best interest of the auction house. So they could set a reserve too high, the car is RNM, but nothing prevents a sale behind closed doors at an undisclosed price - which has no impact on the market. And in the end everybody is happy...
There was some gossip that the RNM no sale of the ex McQueen Porsche 917 this year was just Jerry Seinfeld’s way of making a point to the insurance company regarding the car’s true worth. No idea if true, of course, but if so one can see how a no sale can bring certain advantages…

This lower picture is certainly in France, since there are lots of French cars and trucks (from a time when most cars were not imported). Even the (Piaggio) Vespa 400 was actually manufactured in France, my grandmother had one for a time...
My feeling also, van with Paris plate, left hand drive station wagon etc. Could be Linas Monthlery or Reims for example.
Service course van ,also see during the Tour de France ,Le Mans . Could it be a Le Mans parking ,car from one of the drivers during April practice but not used ?

@Wi11am will know this. It was just Pedro Rodriguez driving 1962 model 250 GTO 4219 GT, coloured red, who won the 1963 Daytona Continental (3 Hours). Phil Hill was not driving.
Why should someone accept a non-original (new) engine from Ferrari Classiche and pay $50m+ for a car? For that $$$s everybody should expect a car that is 100% original. Not to mention that its a RHD-car...! Kidston could not sell it so it will be interesting to see what happens with it with an auction house that has -to my humble knowledge- no experiance with these kind of highest value cars. Anybody to sell his Picasso at Wal Mart...?
