  • Ferraris to top the RM lots in Monte Carlo? 7 Apr 2014 (News)
    Other top drawer Ferraris include a matching-numbers 1967 Ferrari 330 GTS (estimate €1,500,000–1,800,000), and a 2006 Ferrari 575 GTZ with coachwork by Zagato, one of just six examples made (€880,000–1,050,000). But we love the 1956 Maserati 450S Prototype (below), which is also one of the sale's true stars. It's an ex-works car, having competed in the 1956 Mille Miglia, driven by Sir Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson. If that's not enough to secure its all-time great status, consider that after the race, it returned to the factory where it became the prototype for the new eight-cylinder 450S.

  • Why are Aston Martins so hard to sell? 17 Dec 2019 (News)
    The modern era of Aston Martins is also now competing in the same field as higher value cars from Maserati, Jaguar and Bentley, which are all fighting for the same buyer. Aston Martins from the mid-90s onwards, such as the DB7 and DB9 , were manufactured in high numbers and therefore fall into a category where supply currently outweighs demand.
