Hi, I'm new to this forum. I am interested in finding out the premier
Ferrari auctions in North America preferably, or otherwise the world.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thank You

 

[Dr. Bob]

Monterey will have some major Auctions regarding Ferrari's, then you have Gstaad in Switzerland, but that was some months ago, so that will be end this year. For the rest I have to think a little harder, maybe somebody else can help with this

 

[Dj Dirk]

there's only 1 Ferrari only auction
and that's near the end of December in Gstaad, Switzerland
but, i'm sure there will be some very nice auctions during the Monterey week

 

[jim]

Thank you all.
I guess I'll check last years Gstaad & watch Monterey. I'm trying to get a level of reference for a 250 GT PF Coupe.

 

[Dr. Bob]

Do you want to buy a 250 GT PF? Why do you want to see it at an auction? They are also for sale at normal dealers specialized in older Ferrari's.

 

[jim]

I think an auction is a good venue to establish market value. Then I have a measure when I see them in dealers. This is a case of self education. Yes, I do want to buy; but I'm in no rush.

 

[jim]

BTW: I cannot see the Dec. 2003 results for Gstaad on the bonhams website. Any idea where I can view?

 

[Dj Dirk]

Thank You. That's great.

 

[Dr. Bob]

If you want one with a original mint-green interiour, you got to have this one:

[jim]

Ouch. I don't think I could handle that interior for long. I'm a tradionalist; red with tan or black is more to my appeal. Otherwise that is a beautiful car.

 

[Dj Dirk]

trust me, you have to see that interior in real life
it's interesting & scary at the same time
i do love it's originallity, but i'm not too crazy about that colour, couldn't believe it when i saw that car for the first time

Yes, we were discussing or our lenses would break if we pointe it at that car. Or that it would bite if you came too close

 

[jim]

Gents, I love Ferraris but I draw the line at colour. That particular 250 appears in excellent mechanical condition & appearance. Do you see many 250's of this type? Any particular dealer I should visit?
Dr. Bob I see you are in the netherlands. I lived in Uithoorn for a couple of years in the 70's. A truly beautiful place.

 

[Dr. Bob]

There are always some for sale, but usually not more than 1 at the time at 1 dealer. I will look for some dealers that offer them regularly.

 

[250lm]

Try Paul Baber in London, Jean Guikas in Marseille, Mike Sheehan in Costa Mesa, and here in the Netherlands indeed Historic Motering, but also VSOC could be a possibility. In Germany probably Modena Motorsport might sometimes have one.
