The July 2 unreserved and reserved sale, presented by Creative Rides Classic and Collectables Auctions, has been dubbed The Italian Job (after the classic 1969 Michael Caine movie) by insiders because of the astonishing collection of rare, sought-after Italian automobiles on the block.
Creative Rides CEO Kevin Derrick says just the process of appraising the more than 30 Italian designer vehicles featured in this auction has been “a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so bidders should prepare to have their minds blown”.
