Blue Chip Market Update

In late April, RM Auctions sold a mint Ferrari 330 GTS for nearly $2 million. One month later a one-off Aston DB4 GT (the very cool Bertone-designed Jet) found a new home for a shade under $5 million, just a couple weeks before a Ferrari 340/375MM sold for $13+ million at Villa d’Este. Then Bonhams blew those prices out of the water when a 1954 Mercedes-Benz W196 F1 brought $29.6+ million, setting a world record price for a car at auction.
To illustrate how far (and how quickly) the blue chip market has moved, not quite two years ago a friend and client was itching to buy a 330 GTS. I found him several examples in comparable condition to RM’s car, and all were priced at $900,000-$1 million. In other words, in less than 24 months that Ferrari model doubled in value.
So what’s up with these seemingly nutty prices, and soaring market movements?
