Ferraris in Florida
Did you know there is a concours d’élégance in Florida, USA, exclusively for Ferraris?
Since 1992, Cavallino Classic Palm Beach has gathered some of the finest Prancing Horses for a celebration of the Italian marque. This year’s event takes place at The Boca Raton on 14 February.
Not every car on display will be vying for the coveted Best of Show trophy, though.
Auction house RM Sotheby’s is hosting an 11-car sale, covering 60 years of Ferrari road cars – from a 1955 250 Europa to a 2015 LaFerrari.
Here is every Ferrari going under the hammer at this event, presented in chronological order.
Prices are given in GBP£, US$ and EUR€; all conversions were correct, according to RM Sotheby’s, at the time of writing
1. 1955 Ferrari 250 Europa GT (est: £950,000-1.15m/$1.3-1.6m/€1.1-1.35m)
The Colombo V12-engined 250 Europa GT was unveiled at the 1954 Paris Salon.
Around 35 were built. Of these, 27 were transported to Pinin Farina’s workshop in Turin, Italy, and fitted with the coachbuilder’s coupé bodywork – and this was one of them.
One year after the model’s release, chassis 0405GT was displayed on a Parisian dealer’s stand at the 1955 Paris Salon. It was shipped to the USA shortly afterwards.
In the 1960s, collectors Charles Betz and Fred Peters bought this 250 Europa GT. The former must’ve regretted selling it, because he reacquired the Ferrari in 2008, nearly four decades after his original ownership. He sold it again in 2012.
This Ferrari Classiche-certified model is a Cavallino Classic favourite: the restored coupé has won Finest Twelve Cylinder Car and the Ferrari Elegance Award at the event.
2. 1964 Ferrari 500 Superfast (est: £950,000-1.15m/$1.3-1.6m/€1.1-1.35m)
The 500 Superfast is one of the ultimate 1960s Ferraris. A truly coachbuilt classic car, just 37 were constructed by hand at Pininfarina’s workshop (the company’s name became one word in 1961).
The engine is an exotic blend of two of Ferrari’s most famous motors: the Colombo and Lampredi V12s.
This was the eighth example built. Its first owner was Dr Fritz Ries, who swapped their 400 Superamerica for the eye-wateringly expensive (around £11,500 in the mid-’60s) 500 Superfast.
In 1996, this car joined the current keeper’s impressive fleet of Ferraris. It was restored in 2015 and awarded Ferrari Classiche certification – the marque’s official seal of approval – in 2017.
3. 1967 Ferrari 275GTB/4 (est: £2.5-2.65m/$3.4-3.6m/€2.85-3.05m)
This Ferrari has covered just 21,277km (13,221 miles) since it rolled off the production line in Maranello, nearly 60 years ago.
In the mid-1970s, a broken camshaft forced the car off the road.
Its engine was removed for a rebuild that never happened; the Ferrari 275GTB/4 spent the next three decades tucked away in a garage in California.
In 1996, it was sold to its third owner, Frederick Pesaturo of Rhode Island. They entrusted Bob Wallace, the former Lamborghini test driver, to revive the Ferrari.
It was duly awarded Best in Show at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum’s Tutto Italiano concours in 2000. Shortly afterwards, the car was wheeled back into storage for another 10 years.
Since 2011, it’s been displayed at some of America’s other top concours, including Pebble Beach and The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering.
4. 1971 Ferrari 365GTB/4 Daytona NART Spider (est: £440-550,000/$600-750,000/€500-650,000)
Car design changed dramatically in the 1970s. Curves were out and wedge-shaped supercars became all the rage.
Ferrari’s US importer, Luigi Chinetti, was keen to embrace the trend for straight lines and sharp angles, so he commissioned designer Giovanni Michelotti to restyle five 365GTB/4 Daytonas.
This one was transformed into a striking drop-top. Chinetti kept it and gifted the Daytona to his wife, Marion.
In 1980, the couple loaned it to Michelotti, who displayed it at that year’s Turin motor show.
After that, the car was exhibited at a museum in Le Mans, France, and shown at La Baule Concours d’Élégance in 1984.
5. 1988 Ferrari 328GTS (est: £130-185,000/$175-250,000/€150-210,000)
The mid-1980s saw Ferrari’s V8-engined 308 evolve into the 328 – this example of the open-topped GTS version has covered just 9830km (6101 miles).
Ferrari improved the 328 in 1988 with revised suspension, new 16in wheels and the option of anti-lock brakes.
The car consigned to this 2026 Cavallino Classic sale was delivered to its first keeper, in Milan, in September 1988, who kept it for almost 30 years.
This 328GTS was granted Ferrari Classiche certification in 2016. Two years later, it was shipped to the USA.
In 2025, $16,000 (c£11,700) was spent on the car at a Ferrari dealership in Florida, including rebuilding the motors for its pop-up headlights and fitting four fresh tyres.
6. 1999 Ferrari F355 Spider (est: £185-255,000/$250-350,000/€210-295,000)
After the 328 came the 348, then this car, the F355.
The mid-engined V8 supercar is powered by a 3.5-litre motor that makes 374bhp at a spine-tingling 8250rpm.
In 1997, the F355 became the first Ferrari road car with the option of the Formula One-style, semi-automatic gearbox. But this car’s first owner preferred to swap cogs the old-fashioned way – it has a six-speed manual.
Somehow, this is another low-mileage Ferrari, showing just 2726 miles on its odometer.
That’s not to say it has not been well cared for, though: a few months ago, in November 2025, it was treated to an engine-out service.
7. 2001 Ferrari 550 Maranello (est: £220-255,000/$300-350,000/€255-295,000)
When the Ferrari 550 Maranello was released in 1996, it had been 23 years since production of the car maker’s last front-engined V12 model, the Daytona, had ended.
This new Ferrari flagship immediately impressed. Autocar called it, ‘the best-handling Ferrari since the 246 Dino’.
It wasn’t bad in a straight line, either: Ferrari claimed a 199mph top speed and 0-62mph in 4.4 secs.
This Rosso Corsa example has a six-speed manual gearbox, five-spoke alloy wheels, a beige interior and leather-trimmed bucket seats.
A sub-8500-mile car, it was presented with a Ferrari Club of America Platinum Award at the 2023 Pennsylvania Concorso Ferrari.
8. 2009 Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M (est: £700-750,000/$925,000-1m/€800-850,000)
Ferrari built 499 examples of the Scuderia Spider 16M to celebrate its 16th F1 constructors’ championship win.
The Scuderia beat McLaren to the title by 21 points in 2008, but Ferrari driver Felipe Massa missed out on the drivers’ crown by one point to McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton.
The 503bhp Scuderia Spider 16M is 80kg (176lb) lighter than the F430 Spider on which it was based.
RM Sotheby’s reckons this might be the only one finished in Blu Pozzi over Terra Bruciata in the USA.
Plus, its first owner spent $18,000 on special options, including embroidered headrests and a leather dashboard.
The odometer shows just 5941 miles. The sale includes a large history file, too.
9. 2015 Ferrari 458 Speciale (est: £600-750,000/$800-1m/€700-850,000)
The Ferrari 458 Speciale is a high-water mark in the Italian manufacturer’s remarkable back catalogue – and the star of the show is the car’s mighty eight-cylinder engine.
It was Ferrari’s last naturally aspirated V8. The 4.5-litre motor produced 597bhp at 9000rpm.
The 14:1 compression ratio was a record for a roadgoing V8 and the engine was cast in the same foundry as the F1 team’s unit.
Engineers spent a lot of time making it sound good, too: the inlet tract, silencers and tailpipes were all carefully designed to refine the noise.
This sub-5000-mile example is finished in Grigio Titanio with Nero Stellato stripes.
10. 2015 Ferrari LaFerrari (est: £3.25-3.45m/$4.45-4.75m/€3.75-4m)
This Ferrari LaFerrari is expected to achieve £3.25m/$4.45m/€3.75m or more in the RM Sotheby’s sale at The Boca Raton in Florida on 14 February.
The LaFerrari was the fifth car in a series of Ferrari flagships that started with the GTO in 1984. Its ancestors were the F40, F50 and Enzo.
The LaFerrari certainly earned its place in that fabled bloodline, though: the rear-wheel-drive hypercar was powered by a hybrid V12 engine that borrowed technology from Ferrari’s F1 team.
Production was limited to 499 examples.
This two-owner car is finished in Rosso Corsa with a Nero interior and has covered just 4788 miles.
11. 2018 Ferrari 488GTB 70th Anniversary (est: £255-290,000/$350-400,000/€295-340,000)
To mark its 70th birthday, Ferrari created 70 special-edition liveries.
It applied each paintjob to one example of every car in its then-current line-up (the GTC4Lusso, F12berlinetta, 488GTB, 488 Spider and California T). So, there are 350 of these celebratory models.
This is the sole 488GTB with Ferrari’s ‘Some Like it Red’ paintwork, as it was known.
The Rosso Mugello and Argento Nürburgring colour scheme was inspired by Pinin Farina’s 1959 250GT Coupé. The cabin is finished in Vinaccia and Charcoal leather.

The RM Sotheby’s sale takes place at The Boca Raton in Florida, USA, on 14 February 2026.
