The first auction will be held on July 14th 2018 in the Principality of Monaco at the Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort. About sixty selected models will be presented. They represent a significant overview of both the Italian and the international production, from the early stages of the history of the automobile to the most renowned post-war brands and the iconic supercars of the late Twentieth century.
A very rare model of Fiat Zero – one of the very few that preserved all its original features – stands out: commissioned in 1912 by Earl Monte Longoni to Senator Agnelli, it was produced the following year in the Stabilimenti Farina, which at that time was managed by the brothers Giovanni and Battista Farina. The latter founded the renowned brand Pininfarina in 1930. Also noteworthy is a Lamborghini Murciélago SV of 2009 (the 26th model of the 185 produced).
