As fall descends upon us, auctioneers across the world are getting ready to raise the temperature of the coming days with the sale of some of the most exclusive, unique and famous vehicles ever to have rolled the Earth.
One of the most important auction houses on the planet, Bonhams, will be hosting several events dedicated to automobiles this fall. The closest of them is the one to be held at Goodwood on September 8.
Bonhams already announced some of the cars to go under the hammer at the event, the most exquisite of which being two Ferrari LaFerrari coupe and a Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta. On Wednesday, the auctioneers announced yet another Prancing Horse to take the center stage at Goodwood.
The car in question is a 1972 Ferrari Dino 246GT, first bought back in the day by Rolling Stones founder and guitarist Keith Richards.
Bonhams hopes to fetch between £300,000 and £400,000 for the car ($385,000 – $513,000). Back in the time when it was owned by the rock legend, the car was flown across the ocean, from California to London, where it stayed until 1986, when it was bought by a Japanese collector.
The Ferrari comes with black leather interiors and sultry Argento silver paintwork. It features the original 2.4-liter V6 engine mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox that cranks out 175 horsepower.
"If you want to feel like a Rock God, this is the car for you. The stunning low-sloping bonnet, purring engine power and 0 – 50 mph acceleration time of 5.5 seconds makes the 1972 Ferrari Dino 246GT a very attractive choice," said in a statement Sholto Gilbertson, Bonham’s director of motorsport.
As said, the car will sell on September 8 at the Goodwood Revival. The event, held since 1998, is the first major motoring gathering of the fall and is dedicated to road racing cars and motorcycle built to compete during the circuit's original period from 1948 to 1966.
