A rare 1969 Lamborghini Miura P400 S, 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary, and a 1934 Duesenberg SJ Continental Touring Berline by Rollston will be among some the exclusive lots to be offered at the Rolling Sculpture Fine Automobile Auction this November. Put it this way, these three classics alone are valued in the $1.1 to $3.3 million range.
Have you heard of the Keno Brothers? The twins are two famed auctioneers and appraisers who are widely known as the hosts on the PBS series Antiques Roadshow. Among the few who favor preservation of antiques over restoration, Leigh and Leslie Keno apparently have opened Keno Brothers Fine Automobile Auctions, a new venture focused on exceptional collector cars.
The two-day event will start on November 19, at Skylight Clarkson, in Soho, New York City. Until then, however, they will be gradually releasing new details of the lots online, until they have unveiled all the 40 significant automobiles. Updates will be provided daily with additional insight such as significant history, market trends and designer views.
Until then, we figured we’d take a closer look at a couple of the vehicles that will go under the hammer, which we find more than appealing. For instance, the 1934 Duesenberg SJ Continental Touring Berline is one of the rarest, most powerful and luxurious American automobiles of the 1930s. Not only does it work and remains in its beautiful restored condition but it still has its original engine and long distance sports touring Berline body by Rollston. Only 36 factory-supercharged Duesys were ever made, which makes this vehicle a hell of a ride.
Then, there’s the well-preserved 1969 Lamborghini Miura. This is the only car in the collection to be owned by the Keno Brothers and remains an example of a seductive supercar that has left an indelible mark on automotive design. For those who haven’t hit the jackpot just yet, though, you should know there’s more to the event than the sale of rare vintage cars. Here’s more about the event:
”The Keno Brothers and their team of automotive experts will be demonstrating the brand’s roots and expertise in the worlds of art and automotive during the two-day Rolling Sculpture event that will include a Symposium, entitled ‘At the Crossroads of Art, Engineering and Technology, the Many Facets of Historic Automobiles’ as well as Selected Automobilia from the Collection of Werner Pfister.”
