Now things are really getting started – the next three floors will be cleared out this weekend. Until then, it's time for us to simply gaze in awe at the treasures from this year's Monterey Week.
We'll start today with Bonhams, which may only be offering five of its "Prancing Horses" and 0427GT is appearing for the third time in 10 years, but the Dino 04072 alone is worth almost any sin. The new owner will have to invest, and not too little, and the toughest decision will be: should they keep it in Bianco or go back to the original Giallo Fly? Let's see where the price goes; the estimate certainly allows for dreams – despite a major restoration.
But enough now, let's take a look at Bonhams' "big five," whom we would like to thank, as always, for their support in providing the photos.
