Top-seller at Coys' €5million Monaco auction was a 1967 Ferrari 330GTC that raised €529,400. The Ferrari, entered by Messina Classics, was well clear of the second priciest car, a 1934 Bugatti T57 Ventoux that amassed just over €400k.
Celebrity provenance won out in the battle of the Dinos with the ex-Keith Richards 1972 246GT raising €294k against the €237k paid for a nice red example.
Between them in the results was a Mulliner Park Ward Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III DHC that found a new owner at a fraction under €250,000.
The car generating the biggest buzz among potential buyers, however, was a 1990 Ferrari 512BB that eventually sold for €182,200.
C&SC's favourite car was a 1960 Maserati 3500GT by Touring that sold for €249,400, while a 1977 March 771 F1 car looked top money at €210k while the ex-James Hunt Hesketh 308 was selling for not that much more down the road at RM.
It wasn't all big-bucks lots, though, with a Ferrari 308GTSi in need of some TLC making just €23,000 and a sweet Peugeot 304 Cabrio struggling to just over €2000 after bidding started at €1.
One of the most charming lots was a fully restored 1970 Fiat 500L and Graziella 300 Roulotte caravan combo that made €25k. A rare Autobianchi Bianchina Jolly - one of just four built – was much more pricey at over €50, but still way short of the €75k paid for a less rare 1958 Fiat 600 Jolly by Ghia.
