Auctions. Instructions for use.
The Lamborghini Aventador LP780-4 Ultimae, the last model to mount a naturally aspirated V12 engine, was sold for $1,603,125 (€1,525,580) at an RM auction. It also came with a series of virtual "accessories," including an NFT with interesting contents and the possibility to use them on the recently launched metaverse.
Today, Monaco will start with the auctions of RM and Bonhams, followed by a series of great events from Villa d’Este to Pebble Beach and then Le Mans – all priceless showcases for collectors. For this reason, before turning the page, I would like to propose this “what we missed” piece for our weekly analysis of the finest international auctions.
I have selected eight cars with prices ranging from $100,000 to over $1,000,000.
I’ve always had a soft spot for Amphicars. The price of this model has been stable since the dawn of time but all this could change shortly: from Barrett-Jackson in Florida a 1965 example, red with just 3,500 miles on the clock from new, was sold for $161,700 (€153,875), 25% more than the previous record set just one year ago.
