RM Maranello
RM Auctions' sale at Ferrari in Maranello on May 20 was an all-round smash success. All but one car and four of the many items of Ferrari memorabilia were sold on the block.
$45 million changed hands. Records were set everywhere, including $9 1/4 million for the 1962 330 TRI/LM Testa Rossa.
It's tempting to use the word "amazing" but that doesn't credit RM's years of effort to position the company for this opportunity. It doesn't credit the mouths of effort by Mike Fairbairn, Max Girardo, Shelby Myers and the team in Blenheim.
It was a marvelous event, put on with diligence, class, style and quality. The atmosphere at Ferrari's Pista di Fiorano was magic.
Michael Schumacher took the auction's 599GTB out for a few hot laps on Saturday, and F1 test driver Luca Badoer took the TRI/LM out for an Italian Tuneup so it would have its throats cleared for its new owner.
This was a week to be remembered. Not least by RM Auctions, who stepped up onto the top step of the collector car auction world.
