1962 Ferrari 250 GTO by Scaglietti. The third of 36 GTOs built; considered by marque experts to be one of the most authentic and original of all GTO examples. One of 3 factory converted to 'Series II'. As was widely predicted, it made a princely $48.4m. The price achieved by the car is over $10m more than the previous auction record holding 250 GTO, sold by Bonhams in 2014.

1963 Aston Martin DP215 Competition Prototype. It was the first car to hit 300kph (186mph) down the famous Mulsanne Straight at Le Mans during practice ahead of the 1963 race. The DP215 was 12 seconds per lap quicker than the Ferrari 250 GTO but was forced to retire that year after just 29 laps due to gearbox issues. This car made $21.4m. The current record for an Aston Martin sold at auction is $22.5m, paid for the 1956 Aston Martin DBR1/1 in 2017.

1966 Ford GT40 Mk II Coupe, $9,795,000. In the mid-to-late 1960s, Ford made company history by winning the famous Le Mans 24 Hours race four years in a row. It was an almost unprecedented stretch of dominance in racing by a single make and model. Most agree that none of these victories was as important as the first, the 1966 contest in which the GT40 conquered all with a 1-2-3 sweep. Chassis P/1016 was 3rd overall at the 1966 Le Mans 24 Hours.

1957 Porsche 550A Spyder, $4.9m. This historically important Porsche was displayed at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance in 2014, where it was awarded Best in Class. This example is among the very best in the world.

1947 Harley-Davidson WL Police Bike

Harley-Davidson began supplying motorcycles to America’s police forces in 1908. The side-valve 80 CI VLH model from 1935 was intended as a police pursuit motorcycle, and it was tested by the California Highway Patrol at a sustained 100 MPH. That was as fast as anything on the roads at that time. During World War II, the WLA side-valve was the machine of choice for MPs, and many police forces adopted the WL civilian model for patrol duties after the war. The stone cold reliability of the bikes made them a natural for fleet sales, and its wartime reputation was peerless. The machine could be relied on in any weather or road conditions.

This 1947 Harley-Davidson WL 45 CI Police model is a stunning, comprehensively restored machine that comes complete with the period-correct streamlined siren and red lights. Estimate is $50,000 - $75,000

Ferrari F8 Tributo

Ferrari’s F8 Tributo is the latest in a line of mid-engine, eight-cylinder cars that have defined the popular image of the brand since 1975, when the 308 Gran Turismo Berlinetta (GTB) was introduced.

The F8 Tributo uses a 3.9 L twin-turbocharged V8 engine which has a power output of 710 hp and 568 lb⋅ft of torque.

The Tributo, in launch control, can hit 60 mph in 2.9 seconds, 125 mph in 7.8 seconds and 10 seconds flat in the quarter mile. The transmission is a 7-speed dual clutch unit with improved gear ratios. Several new software features are installed on the F8 which are controlled via the manettino drive-mode switch on the steering wheel. The car is equipped with Ferrari's latest Side Slip Angle Control traction and stability-control program.

Pricing for the F8 Tributo starts from around the $300,000 mark.

1967 Ferrari 350 Can-Am

In the early 1960's, Ferrari was the most potent player in endurance racing. Competing in GT and prototype classes, Ferrari was building some of the fastest cars of the period. The company hovered out of reach above the rest of the racing world. None could touch the mighty Ferrari. Maranello's miracle workers were so successful that Ford showed great interest in buying the company.

The notoriously headstrong Enzo Ferrari was not willing to see through any agreements with the likes of Ford, and after the talks went sour Ford decided to devote a portion of its vast resources to developing a strong racing team. Out of a personal grudge between two men, Ford's legendary GT40 was created.

The first time Ford met Ferrari on the track was in 1964 for the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Reliability problems meant no Fords finished, while Ferrari placed a 4-liter 330 P in first, second, and third. For 1966, both manufacturers geared up for an all-out battle. It spelled war. Ferrari revised the 330 further. It featured innovations such as a 5-speed ZF gearbox, lightweight fiberglass doors, and a new Lucas fuel injection system. The cars were marvels on paper, but not enough development time meant reliability problems.

Ford came through with a podium-filling finish while no Ferraris completed the race. The reversal of fortunes was a devastating and embarrassing moment for the Italian sports car maker. Ferrari spared nothing in its development of the 330 P4. At the 24 Hours of Daytona race in 1967, Ferrari earned back its pride. They destroyed the Ford home team, with P4's crossing the finish line in first and second, followed closely by a remaining P3. After the 1967 season regulations were changed and there was no longer a place for the large displacement sports prototypes. Ferrari brought two of the 330 P4s back to the factory and converted them for use in the North American Can-Am series. One example failed to change hands in 2012 for $ 10m.
