Story and photos by Alessandro Gerelli

During the weekend of the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, an important auction was held by RM Sotheby’s in the nearby Villa Erba. Only 40 lots were in the catalog with a couple of Riva boats and 17 Ferraris.

Top Ferrari models were a 1961 California SWB (with an estimate of more than 10 M euros) and a 1960 Berlinetta 250 SWB, unfortunately both unsold. Top price was reached for the Ferrari 212 Export by Touring of 1952 at 6.7 M euros.

All the prices are in euros and include the buyer’s premium.
