What's going on here?
RM held their much anticipated Dare to Dream Collection sale in Canada at the weekend. Here are the headlines.
Tell me more
The Toronto based collection saw $65,500,000 of vehicles sold with proceeds going to charity.
The no-reserve auction, naturally, delivered a 100% sell-through rate.
The Miura SV sold for $4,900,000. A new world record by almost $600,000, despite being converted from LHD to RHD to LHD and with a now blue interior, rather than the original tan. Remarkable.
It's been over 5 years since a Maserati MC12 has sold publicly. RM's 6,780km car broke through the previous world record by over $1,300,000 when it sold for $3,800,000.
The 5,349 mile Enzo went for market rate at $4.295m. Most 288 GTOs recently have been at or around the $4,000,000 - RM's sold on the money at $3.88m.
Another one that caught our eye was the Veyron.
It's long baffled me why prices on these have remained near enough flat over recent years.
Sure, the running costs are through the roof but for a car that was the Concorde moment for the automotive world its lack of movement north in price is surely a matter of when, not if.
Maybe it's about to be 'when'. A 3,022-mile Veyron sold at the end of last year for $1.49m. The Dare to Dream 3,780-mile Veyron sold for over $250k more, finishing at $1.765m. Is this the start of the rise?
