Catawiki - Classic Car Auction - 5th March 2018


How does a business-minded individual conquer the other side of the Atlantic? For Enzo Ferrari, no market research was required, nor were prospective buyers asked what they wanted. He simply built a beautiful and impossibly luxurious car with a powerful V12 engine, showing the Americans how convincingly his machines could transition from the race track to the road. Originally, the Ferrari 500 Superfast was to be called the Superamerica, like its predecessor, the 400.


After the excitement of the Race Retro Competition Car Sale on 23 February, why wouldn’t you want to experience it over again the following day? Luckily, Silverstone Auctions will be hosting a second sale of classic cars on 24 February, providing a whole week of auction excitement.


On 23 February, Silverstone Auctions will head back to Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire for the annual Race Retro weekend — accompanied by 29 competition cars ready to find new owners to return them to the track.
