Continuing a tradition of more than 25 years, RM Auctions’ highly anticipated Monterey sale returns to downtown Monterey, California, August 16-17, coinciding with the famed Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance week. In 2012, the flagship RM sale realized a spectacular $96 million, headlined by a GT40 that achieved a remarkable $11 million. This year’s auction is set to continue the momentum, presenting an outstanding selection of blue-chip automobiles spanning the gamut from sports and racing exotics to elegant coachbuilt classics.

Tilley. Additional sports and racing highlights include a historic 1955 Jaguar D-Type, a 1963 Shelby 289 Cobra with impeccable documentation, and a trio of significant Maseratis, including a 1960 Maserati Tipo 61 ‘Birdcage, a 1953 Maserati A6G/2000 Spyder by Frua, and a 1953 Maserati A6GCS/53 Spider by Fantuzzi.

Enthusiasts of pre-war touring cars will delight in an elegant selection of coachbuilt classics led by a fabulous 1931 Duesenberg Model SH Murphy Convertible Coupe with rare ‘disappearing-top’ coachwork and an exceptional 1935 Hispano-Suiza K6 Cabriolet by Brandone representing one of the marques most coveted models.
