1964 Ferrari 250 LM by Scaglietti
RM Sotheby’s, Wednesday, February 5
This Ferrari campaigned by N.A.R.T. …
I thought it was odd that a French car company picked an Italian name for its car, but the French word for 110, at least according to Google Translate, doesn't quite have the same panache:
Ettore Bugatti was born in Italy and started his namesake company in Molsheim, which was then Germany.
In German it's einhundertzehn. Bugatti Einhundertzehn, though, doesn't sound right, either.
Update!
The Ferrari 250 LM sold for €34,880,000. That's certainly in excess of €25 million.
The Bugatti and BMW 3.0 CSL Batmobile went unsold.
In reply to J.A. Ackley :
WOW, I couldn't imagine having almost 35 million normally, but to have enough to spend on one car? Sounds like it will have an amazing home.
Which BMW race car would sell for more? Answer? Neither one sold.
