A 1972 Ferrari 'Daytona' and 1966 Iso Grifo were the standout lots at Silverstone Auctions' two May sales, making £540,000 and £270,000 respectively.
The Ferrari 365 GTB/4 ‘Daytona’ was by some distance the biggest sale across both auctions – no surprise given that it's a rare RHD version of one of the most iconic of all Prancing Horses, and with a low mileage too.
The Iso Grifo GL 350, meanwhile, would have been a highly sought-after vehicle even if not for its former owner – motorsport legend Mike Hailwood. As it is, it went for £50,000 more than its pre-sale estimate.
In all, a hefty £5.3m of classics – including some of the 'future' variety – were sold across the two events: A Sale of Ferraris in association with the Ferrari Owners' Club GB, and the Silverstone May Sale 2018.
The Ferrari auction was a particular success, with 74% of the cars selling, while just under 60% of the following day's lots found a buyer – still a decent total.
