Auction record for Ferrari

A 1992 Ferrari F40 was sold in August for €1.12 million – or about NZ$1.86m by Coys at the 43rd AVD Oldtimer Grand Prix in Nurburgring, Germany. Other notable auction results included a 1937 BMW 328 Roadster, which was sold for €562,000, a 2000 Ford GT for €227,000, 2003 Ferrari 360 for €182,000 and another record price of €145,000 for a 1971 Lamborghini Espada SII. “The record Ferrari F40 is a remarkable achievement,” says Chris Routledge, of Coys. “This is one of the last privately owned, one owner from new F40s in the world, and we were entrusted with its sale by the Italian family who bought it. It created interest from around the world and was sold to a German.” Coys’ auction activity continues at the world’s most exclusive pre-1974 Porsche sale at Hedingham Castle, Essex, in the UK on September 6. This will be followed by an international auction at Frankfurt Motor Show on September 26.
