RM Sotheby’s Miami 2026 sale promises plenty of hypercars, but there’s a beguiling mixture of pre-war Americana from one private collection, some fascinating low-production-number Aston Martins and intriguing racing cars up for grabs as well.
It all kicks off at The Biltmore Hotel Coral Gables on Friday February 27, 2026 during the ModaMiami event. What’s catching your eye?
The leading lot is a 95-mile 2023 Ferrari 812 Competizione A with an estimate of $2.5m-$2.8m, followed by a 2020 McLaren Speedtail ($1.95m-$2.35m est), a 2006 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 ($1.85m-$2.2m est and a 2017 Ferrari F12TdF that’s been through Maranello’s Atelier programme ($1.8m-$2.2m est).
Next up is the above 2020 Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato Continuation. One of 19 built, chassis DB4/GT/0229/L is finished in California Sage Green over a Light Tan interior with Sahara Tan contrast stitching and Sandstorm carpets. It’s covered just 11 miles, and is estimated at between $1.5m and $2m. There’s also a 2020 DBS GT Zagato, one of 19 paired with a DB4 GT Zagato purchase – finished in Xenon Grey over a Blue Haze interior, it’s covered 271 miles and is estimated at $1m-$1.5m.
There are several further Aston Martins in the lot list for RM Sotheby’s Miami 2026 sale, including a 2021 Vantage V12 GTE racing car built from an unused chassis from 2016/2017 ($250k-$350k est, no reserve), a 2021 Vantage GT3 ($250k-$250k est, NR) and a 2016 Vantage V12 GT3 ($350k-$500k est, NR) – all of which were built in 2021 for one client.
This Porsche 906 Carrera 6, chassis 906-115, was completed at Zuffenhausen on March 9, 1966 for Italian amateur racer and hillclimb specialist Ermanno Spazzapan, who competed under the pseudonym ‘Mann’. Spazzapan debuted the car in April 1966 and campaigned it extensively on the Italian hill climb scene, achieving strong results including an outright win at Antignano-Monte Burrone and multiple class podiums, plus a second-in-class finish at Vallelunga. After a single season, the car was sold to Ennio Bonomelli in early 1967, although it was more frequently driven by Antonio Zadra (‘Khandaru’) and Giuseppe Dalla Torre.
Under this stewardship, 906-115 contested major international events, most notably the 1967 500km of Mugello, finishing tenth overall and third in class against factory Ferraris, Alfa Romeos and Porsche 910s. Further strong performances followed through 1967 and 1968, including class wins and podiums at Vallelunga and Imola, with the Imola 500km marking the car’s finest result: fourth overall and first in class.
After a spell with Corrado Cupellini, from the late 1970s the 906 Carrera 6 was owned and actively raced by Porsche specialist Bernd Becker, and it was later comprehensively rebuilt in the early 2000s for PS Automobile, the then owner. Alain Salat acquired the car in 2004; it then passed through French and Swiss ownership before being acquired by the vendor in 2020. Work from Road Scholars of Durham, North Carolina has included rebuilds of the carburettors and steering rack, replacement of the rear crankshaft oil seal, clutch and front suspension ball joints, plus comprehensive engine calibration. It’s estimated at between $1.3m and $1.7m.
This 1984 Lamborghini Countach 5000 S was ordered by US Lamborghini importer Joseph Nastasi as a personal vehicle. As such it was specified with several distinctive features. Most notable among these was a bespoke rear-end treatment, incorporating a red acrylic rear panel in place of the standard item, a modification approved despite initial factory reluctance.
Completed as a European-specification car with carburettors rather than fuel injection, it was finished in Bianco Perlato over a Rosso interior, with matching Bianco Perlato wheels and equipped with a straight-through Ansa F1-style exhaust. Delivered in June 1984, the Countach was initially displayed in Nastasi’s dealership and shown at the 1985 New York International Auto Show, before entering a prolonged period of storage. After nearly three decades with its original owner, the car had reportedly covered just over 5000km.
In 2012, ownership passed to a Texas-based collector, who commissioned a restoration by Autosport Designs which included a bare-metal repaint in the original colour, cosmetic refinishing of engine components, mechanical servicing and upgrades to ancillary systems such as the air-conditioning. Further detailing followed in 2014, including wheel refurbishment and fitment of period-correct Pirelli tyres. It later passed to a Louisiana-based owner in 2015 before being sold to a Florida collector in 2021, who two years later had Azael Motorsport perform an engine-out service. With 6025km on the clock, it’s estimated at between $850k and $950k.
This 1968 Chevrolet Corvette L88 RED/NART Le Mans was built by Toye English’s RED team as the successor to the earlier Rebel Corvette, and it represents an important chapter in Corvette’s international competition history. It was invited to the 1972 Le Mans 24 Hours by Luigi Chinetti’s North American Racing Team and driven by Dave Heinz and Bob Johnson. Finishing 15th overall, it also won the Group 4 GT Special class for cars over 5.0 litres, becoming only the fourth Chevrolet Corvette to complete the race.
The following season brought another notable result. At the 1973 Daytona 24 Hours, the car finished third overall, which at the time marked the highest placing achieved by a Corvette in international endurance racing and remained the marque’s best Daytona result until 2001. In later years, the car was restored to its 1972 Le Mans specification and NART livery by Corvette specialist Kevin Mackay of Corvette Repair in Valley Stream, New York. The restoration was informed by a substantial body of accompanying documentation, including original correspondence and accounts from members of the RED team, which helps to clarify and substantiate its period history.
The L88 has since appeared in a number of significant Historic and concours settings. It took part in the Bloomington Gold Special Collection XIV in 1998 and was inducted into the Bloomington Gold Corvette Hall of Fame in 2001. It has been shown on three occasions at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, receiving the Grand Sport Trophy in 2018, and was included in the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion marking 70 years of the Corvette. Since March 2025, it has been displayed at the National Corvette Museum. It’s estimated at between $750k and $1.1m.
This Gunther Werks-remastered 1995 Porsche 911 Speedster is one of 25 built, and features a Rothsport Racing 4.0-litre flat-six (430bhp/330lb ft). Known as the Buenos Aires Commission, it was completed in July 2023 and has covered just 13 miles. It’s estimated at between $1m and $1.3m.
This 1935 Auburn 851 Supercharged Speedster is part of a large collection of pre-war cars from a single private collection being offered at RM Sotheby’s Miami 2026 sale. Chassis number 851 32869 E is recorded as having had two early custodians, Joe Miller of Kentucky and Joe E Rose of New Jersey. It later passed to Gerry Greenfield of Washington State, followed by Charles Cawley of Maine, who at the time was concentrating his collection on Full Classics.
The car was acquired in New England in 2008 by Tom Gaughen of Pennsylvania, a long-standing enthusiast of Auburn, Cord and Duesenberg automobiles. He retained the Auburn until early 2019, when ownership passed to the current custodian. By that point the earlier restoration was showing its age and the car was entrusted to Mark Clayton of Castle Rock, Colorado for restoration, which was completed in the current dark royal blue finish. The 851 is estimated at between $800k and $950k.
Other notable cars from this collection include the 1933 Chrysler CL Imperial Dual-Windshield Phaeton by LeBaron ($275k-$350k est) and a Cadillac V16 Roadster ($300k-$350k est), plus several Packards – more on those in a moment.
Moving to more modern racing cars up for grabs at RM Sotheby’s Miami 2026 sale, this 1996 Lamborghini Diablo SV-R, chassis number 020, is understood to have been delivered new on June 7, 1996, alongside Diablo SV-R chassis 019, to the French car rental company LeasePlan. According to the Lamborghini Registry, both cars were finished in Bianco over Nero. During this period, chassis 020 was driven by former Minardi Formula 1 driver Luis Pérez-Sala and Spanish businessman and amateur racer Alberto Castelló. Period imagery shows both drivers posing with SV-Rs 019 and 020 in white and blue LeasePlan livery with their respective race numbers. Over the course of its competition life, chassis 020 appeared in several different liveries.
Following its participation in the SuperSport Trophy, the car competed in the GT European Championships in the early 2000s, again as recorded by the Lamborghini Registry. It was subsequently acquired by an enthusiast in Japan, where it was converted for road use with the addition of headlights, indicators and an air-conditioning system.
The car was imported to the US in 2023 and acquired by the current owner in October of that year. Since then, it has seen limited road use and no further track activity. Certain non-original items fitted by a previous owner, including a stereo head unit, satellite-navigation system, rear-facing camera and radar detector, have since been removed. The aftermarket air-conditioning system remains installed, as do the headlights and indicators required for road use, along with an exhaust-control valve fitted at an earlier stage.
The interior is equipped with an OMB roll cage, OMB racing seats with Lamborghini branding, OMB harnesses and a Sparco fire-suppression system. In 2025, maintenance work included replacement of the starter, fuel regulator, belts, hoses and seals, along with repairs to the fuel sender and coil wiring. The car is now finished in Giallo. It’s estimated at between $700k and $900k.
This 1936 Packard 1407 Twelve Sport Phaeton is from the same private collection as the aforementioned Auburn being offered at RM Sotheby’s Miami 2026 sale. One of five built on the 12-cylinder, 144in-wheelbase 1407 chassis, it’s one of three believed to survive today. Chassis 921-204 is identified by its original firewall tag as the fourth example built. The same tag records delivery in Toronto, Ontario, on September 3, 1936. It is understood that the Packard was originally supplied to the Japanese Consulate in Canada. By 1951, the car had resurfaced in Calgary, where it was discovered by enthusiast Harvey McEwen. At that time, it was being operated by Frenchie Pallin’s Dominion U Drive and hired out for sightseeing trips to Banff. It’s believed the car was either sold to its second owner or repossessed by a shop owner at the outbreak of World War Two.
McEwen sold the car after several years, although it remained in western Canada and, during the 1960s, passed into the ownership of Banff hotel entrepreneur Murray Gammon. Gammon included it in his well known Packard museum in Victoria, British Columbia, where it remained on display for many years.
From Victoria, the car was acquired by Richard Gold, a long-standing member of the Classic Car Club of America. Ownership later passed to his son, Steve Gold, who oversaw a restoration, refinishing the car in its current Packard Cream. During the early 2000s, it was shown at a number of CCCA events. The Packard was subsequently sold in around 2002 through Tom Crook to enthusiast Gordon Apker. While in Apker’s care, the car was exhibited at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in 2007 and at the CCCA Annual Meeting in 2008. It’s estimated at between $375k and $450k.
Other Packards in the same collection include a 1934 1107 Twelve Phaeton ($350k-$400k est), a 1938 1601 Eight Convertible Victoria by Darrin ($350k-$400k est), a 1934 1108 Twelve Individual Custom Sport Phaeton ($300k-$400k est) and a 1937 1507 Twelve Coupe Roadster ($225k-$275k est).
This 1993 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 3.8, chassis 496081, was ordered by privateer racer Mark Sandridge of Westfield Center, Ohio. Finished in Grand Prix White and entered by Sandridge under the Team Salad name, the RSR competed in the 1994 IMSA GT season with a number of notable results. These included second in class and fourth overall at the Daytona 24 Hours, along with class victories at Sebring and Watkins Glen. Over the course of the season, these results contributed to Sandridge securing the IMSA GT2 Championship, second place in the Exxon Championship and second in class in the World Porsche Cup.
The car changed ownership in 1996, passing to Karl McKeever of Morrow, Georgia. McKeever continued to campaign the RSR and undertook a programme of development with support from Porsche Motorsport North America. As part of this work, the car was fitted with a 3.8-litre engine equipped with slide-valve throttle bodies, with period sources reporting an output in excess of 400bhp. In this specification the RSR remained active in competition, taking part in SCCA and Porsche Club of America events for several further years.
In 2006, the car was sold to UK-based Porsche enthusiast Neil Primrose, who is also known as the drummer of the Scottish band Travis. The car was subsequently returned to its 1994 Team Salad livery. It’s estimated at between $800k and $1m.
This 1991 Isdera Imperator 108i Series 2 is one of 30 of all kinds built, and was first sold to Japan. In 2016 it passed to UK ownership and then headed to Germany, where it was part restored. It joined another European collection 2021, and it had its cooling system, climate control and brakes overhauled, and was serviced at Canepa. It’s got 1400 miles on the clock and is estimated at between $650k and $850k.
