Last weekend\u2019s Monaco auction by RM Sotheby\u2019s, alongside the Grand Prix Historique, sold more than $30 million worth of classic collector cars, topped by the $8,226,400 brought in by a 1951 Ferrari 340 America Touring Barchetta, chassis no. 116\/A (above, Tim Scott Photo courtesy of RM Sotheby\u2019s), a car with an extensive competition history, both at Le Mans and in the Targa Florio.<\/p>\n

The second-highest selling price of the night was for the 1997 Porsche 911 GT1 Evolution, chassis no. GT1 993-117, the only known road-registered example, and one of just 14 GT1 racecars in private hands. Also boasting an extensive competition history, the GT1 had just undergone a comprehensive restoration, passing on to its third owner for a record-breaking $3,132,360. Rounding out the top three sales was a 1966 Ferrari 275 GTS, chassis no. 07805, which realized just over $2 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy any standards, we have enjoyed a successful sale this weekend with in excess of \u20ac27.5 million ($30.7 million) sold,\u201d said Peter Wallman, Managing Director of RM Europe. \u201cThe Ferrari 340 America was the most expensive car sold in Monaco this weekend, and a number of model-specific records have also been achieved. We remain broadly positive about the continued growth in certain areas of the market and are looking forward to a summer of strong sales.\u201d<\/p>\n
