We show you RM/Sotheby's Auction at Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este...
Cernobbio, Italy...
The RM/Sotheby's Auction event at Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este, was off the charts as far as any car guys go. For me I always look forward to see what gems are on display(& for sale!) There was something for everyone here. The prices were unreal - as they are at these types of events. You will never see some of these cars again, because these "gems" will (most likely)be locked up away in someone's collection. But at least I can share with you what I saw at Villa Erba.
The Concorso d'Eleganza is held over at Villa d'Este but down the street at Villa Erba - Exhibition Center - is where mere "peasants" can go to see some really awesome cars!! It's at Villa Erba that is open to the (paying)public on Sunday. All the cars from Villa d'Este, are moved over to Erba.
Every year BMW Classic takes over the small town of Cernobbio on the shores of Lake Como for the entire weekend. The Concorso is one of the most difficult cars shows to get invited to, because there are only fifty two slots/entries. It must be hard for the mechanics and logistical support to make this show happen. Bravo to BMW Classic.
Along with the car show... RM/Sotheby's has an auction over at Villa Erba every other year or so. Here is where I lost my mind. If there is a car heaven... it is at Villa Erba. Anyone with "Benzene in their Blood" will be happy here. Have alook for yourself. You might just loose your mind.
Villa Erba...
