Most notably, an original 1969 Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman Landaulet surpassed its pre-sale high estimate of £60,000 to achieve the remarkable sum of £308,000 ($551,125).
According to Max Girardo, Managing Director, RM Europe, "We're proud of our reputation for consistently achieving record prices and offering the finest motor cars available to the market, and today's results were certainly no exception. With numerous lots exceeding their estimates, it's fair to say that the collector car market is still remarkably strong."
The top sale of the evening was a 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR Roadster, the only right hand drive example built, achieving £616,000 ($1,102,251) followed closely by a 2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR Coupe selling for £522,500 ($934,945).
The event also presented a fine selection of memorabilia and coach built motor cars from the private collection of Mr. Edgar Schermerhorn. Headlined by a 1938 Bugatti Type 57C Stelvio for £440,000, the collection achieved a total £1.5 million.
