11 Motoring Collectibles That Will Fit In A New York Apartment
We know a thing or two about how difficult it is to be a car enthusiast in New York City, but the upcoming RM Sotheby’s Driven By Disruption sale contains a few choice prizes for those who might not have the space in Lower Manhattan to store a $6 million Ferrari.
Beginning an auction with memorabilia is standard fare, and it’s thought that watching a number of desirable, often “no reserve” lots sell helps to ease the sale of higher-dollar lots later in the evening. With this as the company’s flagship, end-of-year celebration to be held at the Sotheby’s offices in New York, the memorabilia is fittingly a cut above what you’d see at your local swap meet.
But with many of these lots at no reserve, perhaps it’s your shot to buy a piece of, say, BMW Art Car history for a song…
