The RM Sotheby’s Andrews Collection auction will be staged May 2, 2015 in Fort Worth, Texas. The single-day, single-vendor sale will see a wonderful selection of 78 vehicles along with an assortment of memorabilia cross the auction block, all offered without reserve.<\/p>\n

The Andrews Collection<\/a> represents years of acquisition by lifelong enthusiast and successful entrepreneur, Paul Andrews, and his son Chris, an accomplished artist and businessman.Each car was selected based on the father-son team\u2019s collecting philosophy, evident in the style, innovation and beauty of each lot. The Collection covers many facets of collecting, from a group of American classics and sports and GT cars, to a selection of hot rods and restored pickup trucks. It’s also a reflection of a father and son\u2019s shared passion, their time spent together, and dedication to preserving automotive history.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout doubt, the Andrews Collection is one of the most unique and comprehensive collections we\u2019ve ever had the privilege of offering,\u201d says Ian Kelleher, Managing Director, RM Sotheby\u2019s West Coast Division. \u201cAs a group, the collection provides a fantastic illustration of two generations of collectors coming together. It\u2019s rare to see a father-son collection of this magnitude and is certainly a wonderful reflection of Paul and Chris\u2019 shared passions and of time spent together. The Andrews Collection sale has attracted tremendous pre-sale interest, which we expect will translate into spirited bidding come auction day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leading the impressive roster of automobiles on offer is a 1962 Ferrari 400 Superamerica SWB Cabriolet by Pininfarina, chassis number 3309 SA. This covered headlight 400 Superamerica SWB Cabriolet is the last of seven examples bodied by Pininfarina and was displayed as a factory show car at the Geneva and New York Auto Shows in 1962. It was raced in the early 1960s by its original owner at the Bonneville Salt Flats, a rare sight at the domain of hot rodders and American racerss. Chassis 3309 SA has been restored and Ferrari Classiche certified (Est. $7,000,000 – $8,500,000).<\/p>\n
