Ferrari 290 MM hits the top 2015 auction results ...
With this week's record shattering RM Sotheby's Driven By Disruption sale in New York, the 2015 auction season has closed on a high. A new record for the year was set when the Ferrari 290 MM was sold for just over $28 million. The Top 25 of 2015 is dominated by Ferraris with the barn-find California and a 250 LM also featuring in the top three. Placing fifth was the unique Ferrari 250 GT SWB Bertone Berlinetta at $16.5 million. The first non-Ferrari on the list was the Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato also sold this week in New York. It changed hands for $14.3 million, making it the most expensive British car ever sold at auction. The first German car on the list is the Le Mans winning Porsche 956 that was sold by Gooding at Pebble Beach for just over $10 million.
The 2016 season also promises to start on a high judging from the cars consigned for the Scottsdale auctions. Retromobile will also be very interesting as Artcurial have consigned the Ferrari 335 S that is offered directly from the late-Pierre Bardinon's Mas du Clos collection and is estimated to sell for Euro 28 - 32 million.

If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.
