Sure, the Ferrari 250 GTO with chassis number 3851GT is still the most expensive ever at an auction, but the amount where the classic was afgehamerd fell against.

The expectations were high for the start of the Pebble Beach auction last night. The last 250 GTO had (in a private sale) 52 million USD raised, and there would be this 250 GTO get over it, as expected, the experts unanimously. Amounts of 60 to 70 million dollars were mentioned, but so far came last night. The quail continued to the counter is stuck at $38.000.000, converted around €28.500.000, for the Violati Ferrari which is whispered that he is in possession of Evert Louwman.

This is still a crazy bucket of money for a car, and also more than the Mercedes-racer Fangio last year, but still the amount many have disappointed. Maybe it’s good that the wind is a little out of the sails of the biedingsgekte is achieved. After all, 70 million for a piece of rare look is actually not to rationalize. On the other hand: a classic painting of an old master does more.
