Coys to be headlined by Ferrari in Monaco

Coys is one of the leading names when it comes to car auctions. It is a British Company that deals with the acquisition of the world’s greatest cars. They have had a good year so far, kicking things off with a celebrity car auction at London. The company recently announced that they have two more auctions coming up, May 10 in Monaco and May 25 at Brands Hatch. Coys declared that they will be sending 60 cars to each auction.

Tim Nevinson from Classic Car Magazine describes the auto line-up of the upcoming auctions, “At Monaco a 1958 works supported Austin Healey that took part in the 1962 and 1965 Monte Carlo Rallies is likely to start at around £150,000, as well as a Porsche 550RS and a Bialbero Abarth from 1959. Two Ferrari specially commisioned shooting brakes are also for sale at Monaco, Luigi Chinetti's Ferrari Daytona shooting brake from 1972, and the last Vignale bodied Ferrari 330 GT shooting brake.”

On the other hand, the Brands Hatch Auction will also be featuring Porsche, headlined by the GT3 RS. Which experts say would start off at an estimated £55,000 to £75,000. A 1965 Lotus Elan, which competed in the Bahamas Speed Weeks from 1965 to 1966, is approximated at £35,000 to £45,000. To finish things properly, the line-up will also feature an Aston Martin DB6 Mk 2 Volante, a rare 1939 Malcolm Campbell designed Bentley and, last but not the least, another Ferrari.

It seems that Coys is making all the right moves to strengthen their grip on the car acquisition market. As of late, the company has shown genuine interest in crossing the seas. Coys is not settling for Europe alone. I think they want their prestigious occupation to reach the states, as well as other parts of the world.

More power to Coys!
