It is Pebble Beach week and one of the traditional highlights is the official Gooding Pebble Beach Auctions. Among the most interesting machines in the lot list is this Ferrari 340 America, which debuted with a class podium at Le Mans in 1952. It was then raced extensively through to 1960, gaining a different engine and body. Hiding under Devin bodywork, the original chassis was famously offered on Ebay in 2006. The original engine was also tracked down and the 340 America was completely restored by Ferrari Classiche. The car has come a long way from the $26,000 Ebay sale and is now has a pre-sale estimate of $3 - $4 million.
Another Italian sports car available is this beautifully restored Lamborghini Miura SV. It had a single owner for its first 38 years and has had just two since. Not shown at any major event, the Miura SV is expected to sell for over $3.5 million.
Also available are two iconic American pre-War machines. The earliest is this Mercer Type 35J Raceabout that is offered from the Jerry S. Foley III estate. Also available from longterm ownership is this one-off Duesenberg J LeBaron Phaeton. It is the only one with this body style built on a long chassis and has been in the same hands since 1979.
Due to make its debut on the Monterey Peninsula is this strikingly beautiful Aston Martin DB12 Volante. It shares the high performance underpinnings with the recently launched Coupe and adds the benefit of open top driving. Production should commence this quarter with the first cars expected at customers before the end of the year.
As part of a new range of battery electric vehicles, Fisker Automotive is developing the Ronin sports car. Inspired by the legendary John Frankenheimer movie, the limited production machine will have a bespoke aluminium spaceframe chassis and is expected to have a 600-mile range. The production version should be ready to go in 2025.
