Enthusiastic bidders on auction day represented no less than 25 countries around the world, with nearly 50 percent bidding with RM Sotheby\u2019s for the first time. Bidding at the single-marque sale was spirited from the very start, with plenty of interest in the wide variety of memorabilia on offer and many of those collectible lots exceeding expectations, including a group of Porsche 911 Sales Literature, which well-surpassed its estimate at a final $20,400 (est. $5k\/7k).<\/p>\n<p>The offering of 63 of the world\u2019s most most sought-after, privately-owned Porsche models was led by a <b>1985 Porsche 959 Paris-Dakar<\/b>, one of just three built to contest the 1985 Paris-Dakar Rally as a Works entry and the very first example ever offered at auction. One of seven developmental cars, four of which are retained by Porsche, chassis no. 010015 was piloted by three-time Paris-Dakar winner Ren\u00e9 Metge, representing Porsche in the most grueling rally of all time. After a sustained competition between several bidders in the room and on the phone, the 959 sold for a final $5,945,000, nearly doubling its high estimate (est. $3.0m\/3.4m).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_655331\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-655331\" style=\"width: 1080px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/super.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-655331 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/super.jpg\" alt=\" Darin Schnabel \u00a92018 Courtesy of RM Sotheby's\" width=\"1080\" height=\"721\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/super.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/super-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/super-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/super-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/super-770x514.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/super-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/super-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/super-293x196.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-655331\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">1958 Porsche 356 A 1600 \u2018Super\u2019 Speedster<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Additional motor car highlights included the <b>1958 Porsche 356 A 1600 \u2018Super\u2019 Speedster<\/b>, which, after having emerged from storage since 1983, was recently returned to driving condition and would be the ideal restoration project.

This incredible undertaking began at the Porsche factory one and a half years ago with an existing genuine Type 993 body shell. The experts at Porsche\u00a0Classic were able to rely on a selection of over 6,500 parts, assembling this \u201cnew\u201d 993 Turbo S at the Porsche Classic restoration workshop near Stuttgart.
