To mark the hundredth anniversary of Dutch Queen Juliana’s birth on 30 April 2009, the Royal Dutch Palace "Het Loo" is organising a major exhibition devoted to the queen’s absorbing and eventful life. The star of the show - a three pointed one - is the Mercedes-Benz 380 SEL four door Convertible by Caruna. This blue blooded painted open top limousine of 1985 vintage has recently been restored and is ready to return to Her Majesty's service. |

The Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa #0714TR, first owned by Piero Drogo, fetched €9,184,000.- during last weekend's Ferrari Leggenda e Passione event in Maranello. This is the highest amount ever paid for any car at an auction, but, unlike some media say, #0714TR is still not the most valuable car in the world. That honour still goes to another Scaglietti design: the 250 GTO.
Further more multiple Special Coachbuilt Ferraris from the Dutch Schermerhorn collection were offered. Read on to see if the other "Speciale" Ferraris got sold/not sold and for how much. |

If the guests of the event enjoyed a pleasant weather on Saturday at Villa d’Este, it was not the same for the public day at Villa Erba on Saturday: grey clouds invaded the skies, the hills of lake Como vanished in a light fog and a constant rain poured all day long. Very romantic, but not an ideal weather for the cars. The tops of the dropheads remained up and the bodies didn’t glow under the sunshine. Worse, the carefully maintained and cleaned priceless cars dug mud tracks in the lawns of Villa Erba: a painful and comical scene at once. It was the same for the 2005 edition… Otherwise, the 2009 edition was a very commemorative one. |

We wrote earlier about the Corvette C6's aluminium chassis being very suitable as a white label platform for coachbuilders to sculpt on. Bertone seemed to agree and so they took a 2009 ZR1 and turned it into this beast: the Bertone Mantide. |
