Looking to get your hands on some timeless classics? Monaco will be the place to be next month, when RM Sotheby's liquidates several dozen vehicles from the Quattroruote Collection. The collection is the result of decades of acquisitions, stretching back to 1956, by one Gianni Mazzocchi, founder of Italy's Quattroruote magazine. And they're all going up for auction with no reserve. The highlights of the collection are clearly the 1939 Bugatti Type 57 Cabriolet with coachwork by Gangloff and the 1930 Hispano-Suiza H6B, but those are only the tip of the proverbial iceberg in the Quattroruote Collection. Items range from turn-of-the-century bicycles and horseless carriages to a 1983 Fiat Spider 2000, including along the way numerous Fiats, Rolls-Royces, and WWII-era military jeeps. Though most of the lots are European, there's a handful of American classics in there as well, including a '48 Studebaker Champion DeLuxe and a '55 Cadillac Series 62. We're particularly taken with the '64 Citroën DS, the '56 Fiat 600, and the '55 Lancia Appia. But we'll let you scroll through the images in the gallery above to pick your own favorites. The sale is set to go down on May 14 at Le Sporting in Monte Carlo, so if you're fortunate enough (in any sense of the term), now would be the time to pack your bags, make room in the garage... and call your bank manager on the way. |
