AMELIA ISLAND, Fla., 10 March, 2013

Gooding & Company posted more than $28 million worth of sales, with a 97% sell through rate, with 69 out of 71 lots sold at its annual Amelia Island Auction on Friday, March 8. The vehicles on offer included celebrity-owned classics, like the 1935 Duesenberg Model JN Long Wheelbase Berline owned new by dancer Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, and Woolworth Heiress Barbara Hutton’s Ferrari 365 GTC. Then there were high performance sports cars like a Ferrari 365 GTB/4 “Daytona” Coupe and a Porsche Carrera RS, plus sleek modern supercars like a Ferrari F50 and a Bugatti Veyron. They were led by the top-selling, $2.75 million 1928 Bentley 4 ½ Litre Semi-Le Mans Tourer and the $2.365 million 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB Long Nose Alloy, one of eleven Ferraris offered during the auction, five of which sold for values in excess of $1 million.

“This year’s Amelia Island Auction brought fantastic results with 97% sold and five world records, with a couple that surprised us,” said David Gooding, president and Founder of Gooding & Company. “The Rolls-Royce Derby Speedster that more than doubled its estimate and the Fiat 8V Supersonic that soared past its high mark in support of St. Jude remind us of the magic that happens in the auction room.”

Over the years, the auction house has provided a platform for a number of charities to raise awareness and create funds for important causes. Several years after its first auction record, the spectacular, FIVA-award winning 1953 Fiat 8V Supersonic, the first of fifteen produced, returned to the public arena in support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The magnificent car broke its previous auction ceiling price, with a record-breaking sale of $1.76 million. Generously, the consignor of the 8V Supersonic donated all of the net sale proceeds to the hospital.

Twelve significant collector cars spanning all eras were presented as part of an esteemed private collection, folding into Gooding & Company’s one-day auction. Highlights of this collection included a spectacular 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 that sold for $1,650,000; a 1995 Ferrari F50 that sold for $1,375,000; and a 1929 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Derby Speedster that resulted in a record sale of $1,980,000 more than doubling its estimate.

Gooding & Company realized top sales across a variety of categories, which resulted in world record prices for five models, listed as follows:

• 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB Long Nose Alloy (lot 56) at $2,365,000,
