Rare cars always garner attention at auction, but for
those vehicles with successful motorsport history, the pull becomes ever
more alluring for any car collector. The world-famous RM Sotheby’s Monterey sale attracts many of these iconic racing legends, but a 1954 Maserati A6GCS shines as one of the brightest star cars.
One of the first lots to be announced for the prestigious 15 -17 August 2019
event is this beautiful 1950s racer from Italy. This beautifully
restored machine wears its traditional coat of Italian red racing paint
and features the elegant lines that the Maserati marque was famed for in period.
However, the racer's handsome looks and rarity are only part of the reason for its $3.25 — $3.75 million auction estimate.
A couple of other cars have already been announced for RM
Sotheby’s Monterey 2019 sale including a 1964 Peel Trident, and 2014
Pagani Huayra Tempesta ‘Scozia’. August 15 will also see a one-make sale
of Aston Martins, dubbed ‘An Evening of Aston Martin’ where over 30
rare models will be auctioned. An early 1964 Aston Martin DB5 will hit
the auction block after 40 years of ownership by its current custodian.
We’ll be watching this spectacular Maserati, and the other stars of Monterey, with keen interest.
