The Monterey auctions juggernaut rumbled on last night with the second evening in the Gooding & Co tent smashing more records for classic cars.
The Ferrari 857S (as featured in C&SC, main image) made a huge £3,648,000 on the hammer, a world record for a four-pot Ferrari as Gooding cruised to a $115million total over two days at Pebble Beach.
There was a fine GT40 result, too, though not in the league of the $10million raised for the Gulf/Mirage by RM, when the 1964 Prototype amassed £2,880,000.
It's fair to say that most prices were going through the roof with a nice Hudson Hornet coming it at £104,000 (way more than the Steve McQueen car made), a Toyota 2000GT (above) at £364,800, an Aston DB4 at £288k and a Lamborghini Miura SV topping $1 million to make £800,000.
It wasn't all unbridled success, however. The gorgeous Clark Cable Duesenberg JN Bohman & Schwartz had all the razzmatazz and was even driven on to the dais by Gable's son John, but, perhaps surprisingly, the final bid of £4.096million wasn't enough to secure a sale.
