Monterey 2022 upcoming auctions

Broad Arrow looks extremely promising, excellent personnel. Meanwhile RM Sotheby's will announce a few bombshell consignments.

 

I'll be very interested to see what RM has at Monterey from the Oscar Davis estate. What a great collection he put together.

 

I'm thinking this year will be epic. As in a major high water mark.

 

a number of very interesting Maseratis will be crossing the block.

 

Alfa 2.9, Maserati 450S, 200Si, etc.

 

yes it will be very interesting to see what the 2.9 and 450S do, especially the 450S. Can’t remember the last time a “real” one crossed a block. There was the Costin Coupe at one of the first Maranello auctions in the early 2000s. There was the incorrect body on the #3501 prototype no sale at Monaco in 2014.

 

.....waiting for our Honorary member Walter B. to chime in on the Masers....

 

From Amelia, RM Sotheby's had two Oscar Davis estate cars on display

One has been sold. The other is in negotiation.

 

Interesting, I wonder what will be left to offer at RM Monterey. Will be fascinating to watch

 

I know there is money in modern exotica and that is where much of the market is but I hope that Broad Arrow do not simply offer a collection of hypercars with delivery mileage. I mean we have seen Duesenbergs and other pre and post war collectables hit record levels this year so here's hoping for an interesting selection of classics. And its almost a shame that neither the 450S nor the Alfa Romeo 8C2900B will be on offer at RM Monterey!

 

Agree, while there were enough 2.9s produced and a number have changed hands to establish an estimation of its value. Not so much with the 450S, only 11 were built (counting the muletto) 8 survive. None have changed hands publicly in a very long time, it would have undoubtedly set a record for the highest priced Maserati ever sold at auction.

 

Are we thinking $30m? More?

 

should it be? Given today’s market probably yes, will it be?’

 

410 Sport perhaps?

I think that number is pretty optimistic. It could happen.

 

RW's 410S Sport?

 

Yep.

 

Great car.

 

Glorious noise!

Sad time to be into cars, really. An M3 for 255k? The world has gone nuts....
