Bonhams | Motorcycles from Paul Newman, Steve Mc Queen, Peter Fonda & Dennis Hopper to be auctioned

Celebrity motorcycles and historical gems gather for inaugural October sale at Barber Motorsports Museum


Los Angeles – 24 September 2018 – Following the recent announcement of Steve McQueen’s Husqvarna motorcycle from the film On Any Sunday, Bonhams auctioneers is delighted to announce the consignment of motorcycles ridden or owned by Paul Newman, Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and other celebrities.

As with McQueen’s “Husky”, these motorcycles represent early motocross models and the out-of-doors action sought by these leading men of the silver screen. Featured will be the 1967 CZ 250 – an uncommon Czech motorcycle lauded for its off-road nimbleness – ridden by Paul Newman in the movie Sometimes a Great Notion. Peter Fonda rode a 1968 Bultaco Pursang 250 – a popular go-anywhere dirt bike from Spain – in the opening scene of Easy Rider that will be offered. And Dennis Hopper‘s 1970 Husqvarna 250 Cross, a Swedish make celebrated for its motocross capabilities, is also starring.

Furthermore, two other motorcycles owned by Steve McQueen – in addition to his Husqvarna – will be offered: a highly sought after 1953 Vincent Comet Series C from England and an unusual and attractive Danish 1939 Nimbus Model C Luxus with Sidecar.

And it’s not just celebrity motorcycles that will be the stars in October. Other highlights include rare vintage motorcycles, such as the oldest original Vincent Black Lighting – the “holy grail” of motorcycles and the model that currently holds the world auction record; pedigree racing bikes, such as the Ducati NCR AMA Pro winner; and wonderful classics from American, European and Japanese manufacturers.

Scheduled for Saturday, October 6th at the famous Barber Motorsports Museum near Birmingham, Alabama, Bonhams’ auction of collectors’ motorcycles will be hosted in concert with the annual Barber Vintage Festival.

Bikes | Bonhams – The Autumn Stafford Sale Motorcycles & Memorabilia

In questi ultimi anni si sta apprezzando, in ambito motociclistico, l’ingresso ufficiale in asta dei mitici veicoli anni ’80. In testa a questa armata, i motori due tempi. Glorioso periodo per questa particolare tipologia di motori. Movimento culturale che veniva sospinto fortemente dalle competizioni.

L’armata dei piloti americani (al comando della quale si alternavano grandissimi campioni come Kenny Roberts, Eddy Lawson, Wayne Rainey e sul finire del decennio l’apparizione del mitico Kevin Scwantz) sospingeva con forza la produzione di queste stupende e super fascinose moto sportive.

Per citare soltanto due esempi: la Yamaha Rd500LC (e la Rd350LC)e la Suzuki RG Gamma 500. Due magnifiche moto replica della classe 500 che hanno fatto sognare nel passato ma anche nel presente. Il loro valore si è triplicato negli ultimi sei o sette anni ed ora è possibile ammirarle restaurate anche in prestigiose aste come quella Bonhams di cui alleghiamo il catalogo.

RM Sotheby’s Monterey | World record for the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO sold for $48.4 million

THE MOST VALUABLE CAR EVER SOLD AT AUCTION:
RM SOTHEBY’S SELLS 1962 FERRARI 250 GTO FOR $48.2 MILLION

  • Exceeds Previous Record By Over $10 Million
  • Follows Friday Night Sale of 1963 Aston Martin DP215 For $21.5 Million
  • RM Auto Restoration will present three cars on the lawn at Pebble Beach on Sunday, 26 August
  • Complete results from RM Sotheby’s Monterey sale will be available at rmsothebys.com

25 August 2018 – Tonight in Monterey, California RM Sotheby’s made auction history when a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO, chassis no. 3413 GT, long considered to be the ‘holy grail’ of the collector car world sold for $48.4 million, becoming the most valuable car ever sold at auction. There were cheers and applause when five-time Le Mans winner Derek Bell stepped out of the car after driving it across the auction block in front of an overflowing salesroom, followed by gasps as auctioneer Maarten ten Holder opened the bidding at the unprecedented level of $35 million. Three collectors bidding via telephone competed for the car, sometimes moving in million dollar increments before it hammered after nearly ten minutes for $44 million, or $48,405,000 with fees.

The numbers-matching GTO was offered with its original engine, gearbox, rear axle and factory Series II body after two decades in the collection of noted businessman, Ferrari enthusiast, and vintage race driver Gregory Whitten, Dr. Whitten commented:

My journey with the 250 GTO has come to an end, but I am excited to see how this fantastic car is enjoyed by the new owner. They will have seen the seemingly unbelievable list of superlatives that are used to describe it – legendary, historic, holy grail – but I can assure them that once they get behind the wheel, they will understand that every one of them is true.”

The remarkable 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO, chassis no. 3413 GT, is the third of a mere 36 examples built, and arguably one of the purest and best of the breed. The GTO began its life as a Series I automobile and was used as a test car by Phil Hill for the 1962 Targa Florio road race, before proceeding to win 1st in class at the event for the next two years. This led the car to claim the 1962 Italian National GT Championship, with victories in 9 out of 10 races.

The sale also saw exceptional results for sports cars and sports-racers, including the 1957 Porsche 550A Spyder that soared over the high estimate to sell for $4.9m, and a 1956 Maserarti A6G/2000 Zagato which fetched $4.5m. Modern super cars showed continued strength with a U.S.-spec Ferrari F40 selling for $1.7m, and the Mercedes-Benz AMG CLK GTR setting a new record for the model at $4.5m.

Eventi | Il 50° Anniversario della Dino Ferrari a Maranello

Più di 150 Dino e oltre 300 persone da tutto il mondo si sono radunate a Maranello e alla fabbrica Ferrari sabato 30 giugno per un evento che ha celebrato il 50° anniversario del debutto su strada della prima Dino Ferrari di serie. La Dino, una delle Ferrari più amate e più vendute al mondo, ha avuto una gestazione piuttosto lunga. Equipaggiata con un motore a sei cilindri progettato dal figlio di Enzo Ferrari, la berlina è stata presentata come prototipo al Salone di Parigi nell’ottobre del 1965. Un anno dopo è stato esposto un secondo prototipo, ma è stato lanciato ufficialmente solo nel 1967 a Torino.

Pertanto, il 50° anniversario della vettura avrebbe dovuto essere segnato nel 2017, ma qualsiasi evento commemorativo sarebbe stato oscurato dalle celebrazioni per il 70 ° anniversario della Ferrari. Da qui la decisione di celebrare il mezzo secolo di un altro evento speciale, il debutto su strada del primo modello nel giugno 1968. Sabato 30, le prime auto si sono date appuntamento nel piazzale del Museo Ferrari di Maranello alle 8:30 del mattino, per poi dirigersi verso verso la pista di Fiorano.

Entrate in pista, tutte le auto sono state dirette dalla impeccabile organizzazione a posizionarsi lungo uno schema a formare una meravigliosa composizione, ritratta in un iconico scatto aereo che rimarrà nella storia della casa di Maranello. Subito dopo la magica fotografia eseguita da un drone, le auto sono ripartite per sfilare lungo il tracciato di Fiorano e poi dirigersi alla Fabbrica Ferrari.

Dopo il lunch di benvenuto, tutti i partecipanti sono stati ospiti di uno speciale tour in fabbrica dove finalmente si è potuto ammirare dal vivo con quale cura e maniacale organizzazione vengono al mondo uno ad uno le splendide ed esclusive Ferrari di oggi. In fine, ciliegina sulla torta di una giornata memorabile, la manifestazione si è conclusa con un passaggio trionfale sotto l’arco dell’ingresso storico dalla fabbrica fondata da Enzo Ferrari. Come definire una giornata così se non indimenticabile?
