It will be a busy week for British auctioneer Bonhams with two sales at Grand Prix venues within seven days. First up is the auction during the Miami Grand Prix weekend. Due to cross the block on Saturday is this one-off Ferrari SP30. It was commissioned by an enthusiast from the Emirates back in 2011 but never completed the purchase and it only surfaced in 2018 when it had been sold instead to an American dealer. It was offered at auction following year and the 599 GTO-based machine is now available again, still with less than 200 km on the odometer.
Next week, Bonhams will stage the biennial Grandes Marques a Monaco sale. The most appropriate consignment is this Tyrrell 008 Cosworth, which is the very car driven to victory in the 1978 Monaco Grand Prix. It was later also raced by Desiré Wilson and owned by noted collectors like John Foulston and Nick Mason. Owned for many years by an American enthusiast, chassis 008/3 has been raced in historic events including the Monaco Historic Grand Prix. Another historic racing car consigned to the sale is this Ferrari 250 GT Drogo Coupe. This car started life as a 250 GT Coupe and was re-bodied in the mid-1960s by Drogo after an accident. In recent years 1717GT has been used in historic racing and benefits from a fresh respray. The pre-sale estimate is €2.5 - €3 million.
