Daytona 24 Hours winner and Ferrari and Aston open for bids ...

This weekend's Daytona 24 Hours was the first major race of the new season. It turned out to be a classic with five cars on the lead lap for most of the race. Eventually, the victory was scored by the Acura ARX-05 entered by Wayne Taylor Racing. Scoring its third consecutive Daytona win, it was the team's debut race with the HPD/Oreca developed DPi prototype. For Acura, it was the first ever outright victory in a major endurance race.
Although the Arizona dust has barely settled, Gooding & Co. have sprung into action with the online-only, single collection European Sporting & Historic Collection sale that is already open for bidding and will close on Friday, February 5th. Headlining the nine-lot sale is this Aston Martin DB4 GT, which has recently benefitted from a complete R.S. Williams restoration. Originally delivered to Switzerland, chassis DB4GT/0144/L has been owned by prominent collectors like Chip Connor and Peter Livanos. The pre-sale estimate is £2 - £2.5 million and at the time of writing the highest bid is £1.2 million.
Shown at the 1967 Brussels Motor Show when brand new, this Ferrari 275 GTB/4 is another highlight of the sale. It spent most of its life in the hands of a single Dutch family and was never fully restored. Chassis 09389 has already received a £1.3 million bid at this moment but the reserve has not yet been met.
