Ferraris were as popular as ever, with three entering in to the
Top 10 lots and all those offered selling on the day. The 2006
Ferrari 575 Superamerica F1 had just one owner from new and
had covered a mere 21,000km, which was reflected by its final
price of €293,250. An example of ‘the finest GT in the world,’ a
2003 Ferrari 456 Modificata GT Coupé with, aptly, only 456km
on the odometer, achieved €120,750 and, perhaps inspired by
the roar of the track outside the saleroom, a beautiful race-
ready 1996 Ferrari F355 Challenge Coupé sold for €158,500.
Bonhams Head of Motoring Europe, Philip Kantor, commented:
‘Holding a sale at such an adrenaline-fuelled location is always
a privilege, and we were delighted to bring such a varied
selection of motor cars to Spa once again. Bonhams proved
its expertise in offering significant single-owner collections,
indicated by the 100% sell rate of the Swiss schloss collection.’
Other highlights included:
• 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SE 3.5 Cabriolet €287,500
• 1967 Mazda Cosmo Sport Series I Coupé €88,550

Chantilly on 10 September.
