Last week, RM Auctions proved that the economy hasn’t affected certain blue chip cars. At their London Automobile sale, several records where broken including the McLaren bid we featured last week.
One sale watched by the concours community was a Horch Special Roadster which sold for nearly 1.8 million USD. In need of a restoration, this is a sister to the Horch which won the Pebble Beach concours in 2004.
Besides the McLaren, another record was reached for the Ferrari Tour de France Berlinetta which reached 3.5 million USD. Like many of the cars, it was rolled out in a smoke screen and highlighted by a starlight ceiling.
All the ambience, cars and action can be seen in this week’s gallery by Dirk de Jager. We’ve assembled some of his top shots from the sale highlights.
