This group of cars come from all over the world and each one has its own unique history. Some of these models are retired race cars, while others were once used in movies and owned by celebrities such as Steven McQueen. What they all have in common, though, is the custom restoration jobs that they all underwent via RM Auctions. All of these cars are considered collectors items for various reasons, such as the 1955 Ferrari 750 Monza Spider of which only 35 were ever produced. Serious car collectors and enthusiasts should visit the RM website for more details.
