Bonhams returns to the coastal resort of Knokke-Heist on 10 October for its annual Zoute sale, held during the five-day Zoute Grand Prix. Modern supercars lock out the top three entries, a one-of-30 1994 Bugatti EB110 Super Sport with 30,000km is €2,000,000 – 2,500,000; a one-owner, non-cat, non-adjustable 1989 Ferrari F40 with only 1,790km that has been in storage since 1992 carries an estimate of €1,000,000 – 1,500,000; and an uber-rare 2018 Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Speedster – number 25 of 28 – barely used with 290km from new is €850,000 – 1,250,000.
A 54,000km 1968 Ferrari 365 GTC that has remained in single-family ownership from new is guided at €600,000 – 700,000. Resplendent in its original colour scheme of Blu Caraccalla with Bianco Molitan leather, the matching-numbers example was in the process of undergoing Ferrari Classiche certification at the time of consigning.
