An institution for more than 25 years, RM Sotheby’s flagship Monterey sale, held during the world-famous Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance week, continues to raise the bar for collector car auctions year after year, commanding the attention of the world’s most discerning collectors. Held at the beautiful Portola Hotel & Spa, just steps away from downtown Monterey and Fisherman’s Wharf, the event has been witness to the sale of some of the most important motor cars to ever come to auction. RM’s 2014 Monterey sale set a new collector car auction benchmark with a record $143.4 million in total sales, entering the history books as the highest grossing collector car auction of all time. The 2015 sale is expected to continue the tradition, lifting the gavel on a carefully curated roster of approximately 150 of the world’s most coveted automobiles. Extended to three days, this year’s collection is headlined by ‘The Pinnacle Portfolio: A rare collection of automotive distinction’, which will take center stage on Thursday, August 13. An exceptional grouping of just over 20 vehicles, this private collection comprises some of the greatest and most iconic European sports and racing cars of the 1950s and 1960s, juxtaposed against some of the world’s most coveted modern supercars. The most valuable and significant private collection ever brought to market, it is sure to be a focal point of this year’s Monterey car week. The excitement will continue August 14 – 15 at the Portola Hotel and Spa as some of the world’s most admired marques cross the podium during RM’s traditional Friday and Saturday Monterey sale sessions. For those unable to attend the event in person, absentee, Internet, and telephone bidding options are available, and the auction will stream live online at www.rmsothebys.com providing real-time coverage of the event.
