In addition to the sale, RM Auto Restoration had a strong presence on the show field at yesterday’s world-renowned Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, with the beautifully-presented 1929 Duesenberg Model J Dual Cowl Phaeton owned by Charles Letts awarded ‘Best in Class’, and the striking 1960 Plymouth XNR Concept, displayed for the first time in 50 years in North America, also receiving honors. These latest accolades add to a string of awards received by RM Auto Restoration division in recent years, cementing its reputation as the world’s premier restoration facility for vintage automobiles. Next up, RM kicks off its 2011 European auction calendar on May 21 with its debut sale at the celebrated Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este. Held on the shores of Lake Como, Italy, the exclusive evening sale will feature an elite selection of the world’s finest motor cars, carefully hand-sourced from around the world by RM’s expert team of car specialists. Representing the ‘best of the very best’, some 30 automobiles – with an average value per car exceeding $1,000,000 USD – are poised for the auction block.
