At the Sotheby’s auction, the budget was found in the release of the Ferrari car collection. On this occasion, these are 20 examples, not a case not unique as a model, but an image of a snowy swarm of historical owners. This is important, because the condition of the car was much to be desired – most of it has long been turned into scrap metal.
The collection was created in the early 1990s and until 2004 was gathering dust in a barn in Florida, until it was destroyed by Hurricane Charlie. The cars were transported to a warehouse in Indiana, where they were forgotten for another two decades. Except for the fact that it later turned out that the average cost of most cars exceeds $ 1 million.
The previous record of a “barn find” belongs to the collection of the French industrialist Roger Bayon – 60 and more than half a century of cars rotted in a barn on his estate. The collection was sold at an Artcurial auction in 2015 for $28.5 million, primarily due to the presence of a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spider in the lot, which was sold for $18.45 million. The car entered the top five most expensive of the number sold at auction.
Some of the first cars in their collections: 1954 Ferrari 500 Mondial Spider ($5 million), 1956 Ferrari 250 GT Coupe Speciale ($1.43 million), 1956 Ferrari 410 Superamerica ($3.3 million), Ferrari 250 1960 GT Coupe ($1.14 million), 1964 Ferrari 250 GT/L ($1-1.5 million), 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB/6C Alloy ($4.6 million), 1965 Ferrari 275 GTS ($2.4 million), 1967 Ferrari 330 GTS ( $3.3 million), a 1978 Ferrari 512 BB LM ($2.2 million) and two Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytonas ($1.15 million).
