At the end of the day its was the highly coveted Ferrari 275 GTB/6C - alloy-bodied with a long nose, six carbs, and a torque tube - which topped the auction sales list, selling for €3.416 million (Rs 24.8 crore).
In second place was a low-mileage Maserati MC12 which sold for €3.024 million (Rs 21.95 crore), a new record for the MC12 at auction.
Topping out the top three was the Ferrari F40, which was no slouch either selling for €1,030,400 (Rs 7.48 crore).
In fourth place was Porsche's 959, the reason why the Ferrari F40 had that top speed of 201mi/h (323km/h). The Porsche sold for (Rs 7.31 crore).
Rounding out the top five was another Ferrari, a Ferrari Daytona to be precise, which garnered €873,600 (Rs 6.34 crore).
What made the Duemila Ruote auction even more interesting was the fact that each and every item on auction didn't have a reserve price.
