Auktion24.08.2018 - 25.08.2018
Rounding out the catalogue in spectacular fashion is one of the “giant killers”. A hugely significant piece of Porsche’s American racing history, RM Sotheby’s has added a 1957 Porsche 550A Spyder, chassis no. 550A-0116 to the Monterey lineup. By 1957, the 550 model had already found an eager customer base in North America, and chassis 0116 was delivered new to Jack McAfee of Burbank, California, who raced the car extensively on the West Coast in period. Driven and owned by some of the leading West Coast personalities through the 1990s, the 550A was subsequently comprehensively restored by marque experts in Germany. A class winner at the 2014 Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance under current ownership, the extensively documented and coveted Porsche remains highly eligible for vintage racing and international concours (Est. $4,600,000 - $5,000,000).
Held during the world-famous Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance motoring week, RM Sotheby’s Monterey sale (24-25 August), has been the pinnacle of collector car auctions for more than 30 years, leading the field and raising the bar with its consistent, record-setting results. This year’s Monterey sale is set at the newly reopened Monterey Conference Center following its $60-million-dollar renovation, offering collectors a stunning new experience and a beautiful space for the display and offering of 150 of the world’s most important motor cars in the ultimate collector car destination.
