Preview (beginning of the article)
RM/Sotheby's offered 40 drivable cars, a Formula 1 show car from Ferrari and a children's Porsche 917 that can also be driven by adults alongside a number of automobiles at the London-Brighton Run on November 6, 2021. The auction started with a bang when a Nardi steering wheel used in the Ferrari 250 GT SWB and 250 GTO, among others, was sold for £24,000. The bidding war with the participation of internet and telephone bidders had started at £ 1000 and only ended at £ 20,000. The 0.7:1 scale Porsche 917 was knocked down at a comparatively reasonable £8,000. The audience seemed motivated, the auctioneer was not at a loss for snappy remarks. All the signs were green.
