Auctioning Off The Pinnacle Collection: Record After Record - The Car Guide
A few weeks ago, I showed you a ludicrously rare Mercedes-Benz 300SL Alloy Gullwing Coupe , which was set to be sold with the rest of the Pinnacle Collection. With total sales of $67,006,500 USD, the Pinnacle Portfolio Collection becomes the most expensive ever sold, beating the previous record holder (the Andrews collection ) by more than $13 million USD. A 1993 Jaguar XJ220 was sold for $462,000 USD (the previous record was $309,610 USD) A Ferrari Enzo that belonged to the Pope more than tripled the car’s previous best ($1,925,000 USD) with a final bid of $6,050,000 USD Its ancestor, the 1995... A beautiful 194 Ferrari LM –one of only 32– was auctioned for $17,600,000 USD, more than $3 million over the last record ($14,300,000 USD) The list goes on (Maserati MC12, Ferrari F40 LM, Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren). Ironically, three of the most sought-after cars failed to sell, their reserve price failing to be met. The 1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta Competizione, the 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spyder and the aforementioned 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Alloy Gullwing Coupe. In their cases, the auctions stopped at $13. 2 million USD, $8 million USD and $4. 5 million USD,. Source: www.guideautoweb.com
