Mecum’s top result at the Monterey 2016 collector cars auctions was just over $5 million for a 2014 Ferrari LaFerrari. Mecum sold eight cars for over a million dollar with several further million dollar bids failing to clear the reserve margins.

Top Ferraris at Mecum Monterey 2016

2014 Ferrari LaFerrari

Mecum’s top result at Monterey 2016 was $5,170,000 for a 2014 Ferrari LaFerrari. Only 499 LaFerraris were produced and this was only the second one ever sold at public auction. The original list price for a new LaFerrari was around $1.7 million before options.

The LaFerrari sold at Mecum is one of only 3 produced in Nero DS Opaco (matt black) and has only covered 211 miles since new

(The first LaFerrari offered at auction – a red car with similar low mileage – was sold a day earlier by Bonhams for $3,685,000.)

2003 Ferrari Enzo

Mecums also had a very good $3,300,000 result for a 2003 Ferrari Enzo. This Enzo had a single owner and the car has covered only 2,050 miles since new. The result is at the top end for standard Enzos at recent auctions.

A second 2003 Ferrari Enzo – one of four finished in black – was not sold despite a highest bid of $2,150,000.

2011 Ferrari 599 SA Aperta

A 2011 Ferrari 599 SA Aperta sold for $1,155,000 at Mecum Monterey 2016. Only 80 of the open 599 SA cars were ever made and these demand a significant premium over the berlinettas.

Unsuccessful Bids for Ferraris at Mecum Monterey 2016

Several further Ferraris received unsuccessful bids over a million dollar at the Mecum Monterey 2016 sale:

  • 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 Berlinetta – Highest bid of $2,850,000
  • 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO – highest bid of $2,200,000 – both Gooding and Bonhams sold 288 GTOs for less during the same week.
  • 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB Long Nose – highest bid if $2,200,000
  • 1990 Ferrari F40 – the highest bid of $1,600,000 is one of the highest ever for a standard F40.

Other Top Results at Mecum Monterey 2016

1966 Ford GT40 Mk1

Mecum sold a 1966 Ford GT40 for a strong $4,480,000 at Monterey 2016. This was car P/1028 – the first road car delivered to a customer in North America.

2005 Porsche Carrera GT

A million dollar result for a Porsche Carrera GT at Monterey 2015 caused great excitement and saw at least 15 Carrera GTs testing the market in 2016. All failed to break the million dollar barrier – often by quite a margin – until Mecum did it again selling a low-mileage 2005 Porsche Carrera GT for $1,155,000 at Monterey 2016. In the same auction, Mecum sold a second Carrera GT for a more modest $670,000.

A $1.7 million bid for a 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach was rejected although higher than the results achieved for two similar cars earlier in the year.

The 1989 Daytona winning Porsche 962 attracted a highest bid of $2.2 million – $100,000 less than was offered at Kissimmee earlier in the year – and again failed to sell.

The highest unsuccessful bid at Mecum Monterey 2016 was $3.6 million for a 1933 Duesenberg Model J Convertible Coupe.
