1991 “Oppenheimer Commission” Singer DLS Goes Sealed Bid with RM Sotheby’s
"The Oppenheimer Commission" was named for the Oppenheimer Blue diamond and not for the nuclear physicist.
Market Find: 1986 White on White Ferrari Testarossa
Popping up in RM Sotheby’s Private Party sales is this very desirable 1986 Ferrari Testarossa. Granted, it’s a factory order book specification car, so why is it desirable? We’d point to two reasons.
Market Find: Former Michael Schumacher Ferrari F355 GTS
F1 aficionados will tell you that Michael Schumacher left Benetton where he'd just logged his second (in a row) of seven career championships, relocating to a struggling Scuderia Ferrari in 1996. No doubt Maranello was ecstatic to have him, which is the timeframe that the very special F355 GTS you see here was produced.
Market Find: “The Denmark Commission” Singer Classic Study Porsche 911
In modern parlance, the "Classic Study" from Singer is effectively its original format. While in the earliest days of the Southern California-based Porsche reimagineer this was the Singer model, subsequent launches of the extreme DLS or more G-body inspired Turbo now mean the original F-body or so-called "longhood" inspired car is known as the "Classic Study".
Market Find: Singer “UK 1” Porsche 911 Classic Study in RM Private Sale Listing
The cue for a Porsche 911 reimagined by Singer is measured in years, so for those seeking to own one and not hung up on creating their own commission, purchasing one off the pre-owned market is the most likely play. Granted, they don’t come up often, and when they do we tend to expect them in prestigious places like an RM Sotheby’s private listing.
Market Find: White on White Homologation Special Audi Sport quattro
Whether this car qualifies to be highlighted on this site is perhaps debatable. On the positive side, it's one of only 164 road variants of the homologation special Audi Sport quattro ever built. That definitely makes it a limited production vehicle much like the Ferrari F40, yet it's a repaint (originally red) with a standard color (Alpine White), making it not factory original. Also, it's got a non-factory interior, so there's that.
European Market Find: 2021 Aston Martin V12 Speedster at RM Sotheby’s Münich Sale
Whether or not you're in the income bracket that can choose to buy an Aston Martin with no top nor windshield, or have the means to enjoy it in whatever capacity one would, we still find cars like this "barchetta" style 2021 V12 Speedster to be fascinating. Aston Martin only built 88 examples of this open cockpit two-seater as tribute to the DBR1 that won the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans, and they rarely come on the market. So, it's notable when this single family owned example with just 46 kilometers on the odometer hits the market, as this one will very soon from now as part of RM Sotheby's Münich sale.
