To coincide with the eighth Grand Prix de Monaco Historique, RM Auctions are once again holding an auction of some of the world's most desirable motor vehicles. Aimed at the serious collector and discerning enthusiast, the first auction on 11 May will be devoted to the Saltarelli Ducati Collection, one of the largest private collections of Ducati motorcycles ever to be offered at auction. Notable lots include two Ducati Desmosedici GP machines: a GP10 raced by Casey Stoner and a GP11 raced by Valentino Rossi. Peter Wallman of RM Auctions (Europe) is understandably excited: 'This is an exclusive opportunity to offer items that are not normally available to the public... these are very unique pieces of Ducati history.'
1948 Ferrari 166 Inter Spider Corsa
The second auction, on 12 May, will concentrate on motor cars, with several classic sports cars including the 1948 Ferrari 166 Spider Corsa Fontana (chassis 0121, above). The sixth 166 Spider Corsa built, it is one of the most raced Ferraris in existence. It was entered in two Mille Miglias and two Targa Florios, and driven by such luminaries as Bracco, Maglioli, Frolian Gonzales and the Marzotto brothers. Now fully restored, it is expected to fetch between €1,100,000 and €1,800,000.
Other noteworthy cars include a 1974 Ferrari 308 GT4/LM (chassis 08020), specially designed to compete in that year's Le Mans 24 Hrs race, and now estimated at between €580,000 and €680,000. Also on offer will be a 1968 Alfa Romeo Tipo 33/2 Daytona (chassis 75033-029), and a 1969 Alfa Romeo Tipo 33/3 (chassis 10580-023). With its 3-litre V8 engine capable of in excess of 420bhp, this car has an extensive competition history and is expected to go for offers over €600,000.
Another Le Mans participant, the 1950 Talbot-Lago T26 GS (chassis 110057) is widely considered one of the most beautiful of all postwar racing cars. It also participated in the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix and has an estimate of €1,150,000 to €1,500,000. Another French marque, the 1978 Rondeau M378 (chassis M378-001) is the unrivalled veteran of no less than nine Le Mans 24 Hour races, and is scheduled to take part in the Le Mans Classic in 2012. Its expected price tag is between €610,000 and €760,000.
Additional highlights include:
• a rare 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce Zagato (Est. €380,000 to €420,000);
• a 1971 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spider, one of just 25 (Est. €800,000 - €1,000,000);
• a handsomely-restored, left-hand-drive 1965 Aston Martin DB5 (Est. €240,000 - €280,000); and
• a 1976 Lancia Stratos Stradale with just 43,000 kilometres on the clock (Est. €250,000 - €300,000).
