RM Sotheby’s Private Sales to offer Four Rare Performance Cars simultaneously on the Sotheby’s Sealed Bidding Platform

BLENHEIM, ONTARIO, CANADA – October 14, 2022 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – RM Private Sales will offer a small selection of rare performance cars via its proprietary Sotheby’s Sealed online bidding platform from 31 October to 3 November. The auction includes a trio of Ferraris: a 246 Dino GTS, a F512 M, and a 550 Maranello WSR, as well as a low-mileage Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM AMG.

One of only three finished in Verde Medio Nijinsky, this 1974 Ferrari 246 Dino GTS by Scaglietti was formerly owned by Hollywood socialite Sandra West and is equipped with factory air conditioning and power windows. Currently displaying approximately 9,000 miles, which are believed to be original, this car will go to its new owner with books and tools. Cosmetically restored to its original colors in 2014, this Dino is a prime example of the rear-engine spider and is ideal for marque corrals and driving events. This unusual spider also makes a case for major concours d’elegance consideration, given its rare paint and intriguing provenance.

The first of 75 specified for the United States, this Ferrari Classiche-certified 1995 Ferrari F512 M is the ultimate expression of Maranello’s celebrated flat-12 engine model line. Presenting 12,596 miles from new, with documented history of five private owners, this Ferrari is a two-time FCA Platinum Award winner and is accompanied by a spare key, leather tool kit, leather pouch with Owner’s Manual, Owner’s Warranty and Service Book, pre-owned Warranty Validation Book, and a Classiche Binder. It received a five-year engine-out service completed at Ferrari Beverly Hills in February of 2022.

Wearing a rare Rosso Corsa over Nero color combination, this 1999 Ferrari 550 Maranello WSR is one of only 33 World Speed Record editions built. It was last serviced at Kessel Auto Zug in September 2022 and the odometer reads just under 14,600 kilometers from new. Highly sought after for its rarity and incredible factory specification, the WSR represents the pinnacle of 550 desirability. This wonderful Rosso Corsa example would be a fitting addition to any collection of Ferraris or modern performance cars.

One of just 100 coupé variants of Mercedes-Benz’ legendary road-going touring car, this 2004 Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM AMG was first delivered to Germany, and is one of very few examples federalized for US road use. Specified in Brilliant Silver Metallic over Anthracite leather, this DTM shows just 4,596 kilometers at the time of cataloguing. A rare sight in Europe, let alone the United States, the CLK DTM AMG is surely one of the most compelling factory hot rods of the 21st century. Boasting competition technology and built by the firm that delivered Bernd Schneider his third DTM championship, this piece of Mercedes history is perhaps the ideal stablemate to an SLR McLaren or CLK GTR and will surely remain highly sought after in the years to come.

Sotheby’s Sealed 

Since it’s unveiling, Sotheby’s Sealed has become an incredibly successful online platform offering some of the world’s most significant cars to a growing global audience. Using a novel and fresh bidding system, bidders are able to see where their current bid ranks but will not know what anyone else has bid. There is an auto-extension if a client ranked in the top three bids in the last 90 seconds of the auction. The auto-extend can also be triggered when a new bid causes the bidder to be ranked in the top three, even if the ranking doesn’t change.
