Maranello, May 18th, 2008

Car enthusiasts and Ferrari collectors from across the globe descended on Maranello, Italy this past weekend for RM Auctions’ second annual “Ferrari Leggenda e Passione” auction event to witness a new auction record established for a 1961 Ferrari California Spider formerly owned by actor James Coburn.  The rare car exceeeded all expectations by selling for a world record auction price for a vintage car at auction in the amount of USD 10,894,900 (€7.04mio), surpassing the previous record set at Sotheby's Monaco in 1990 for a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO at USD 10,756,000 .



The annual RM Ferrari auction held in association with Sotheby’s, put under the hammer an unrivalled collection of historic Ferraris at the legendary home of Ferrari in Maranello, Italy.  Among the attendees was one extremely well known Ferrari enthusiast, and British television and radio personality Chris Evans. Chris, accompanied by his wife, golf pro and writer Natasha Shishmanian, attended the Gala reception on Saturday, May 17th where he fell for the considerable charms of a black 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder. The following day John Collins of Talacrest made the successful bid for his client's dream machine, which will now take pride of place in his Chris' celebrated collection and the honor of "the most valuable car sold in auction history."

Rob Myers, CEO and founder of RM Auctions added: “Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of offering some of the world’s finest sports and racing Ferraris, and the weekend’s event was certainly no exception. The results truly speak for themselves and reflect a very strong market for quality automobiles, as well as our continued success for setting world record prices for the legendary Ferrari marque.”

Event festivities kicked off at the Pista di Fiorano race track with a preview on Friday, followed by track demonstrations on Saturday and a glittering cocktail reception in the evening for over 700 VIP guests. Come Sunday, it was standing-room only on the auction floor, as professional collectors and Ferrari enthusiasts from around the world gathered to vie for their very own piece of Ferrari history.

“The Ferrari market continues to be bullish,” added Girardo upon reflecting on final results. “The 250 LM, one of the most exciting sports racing cars ever built, sold extremely well at $6.97 million, and we proved that presentation is the key to achieving top prices, with the stunning 275 GTB/4 selling for $2.04 million, and the very beautifully presented 250 GT/L Berlinetta for $1.17 million,” he said.

The Maranello event also marked the auction debut for one of the world’s most important Ferrari memorabilia collections – Jacques Swaters’ famed Garage Francorchamps Collection. The top seller of the collection was the one-of-a-kind 1980 Ferrari Pinin four-door prototype, which brought an impressive $272,360 and many other items were sold for exceptional prices, several of which had been personally signed by Jacques Swaters himself who was sitting in the front row throughout the auction.

RM Auctions will return to Europe in October for the annual Automobiles of London auction event in Battersea Park. Held in the heart of London, England, the level of entries to the sale will be second to none, headlined by a stunning Bugatti Type 57C Atalante. Next month however, it is back to North America for RM Auctions as they present two significant, private Southern Californian collections for auction – the esteemed Joe MacPherson Collection and the renowned Art Astor Collection, closely followed by their Vintage Motor Cars of Meadow Brook and Sports & Classics of Monterey events in August.
