Ferrari 512BB: Pic Of The Week

A mid-engined supercar icon strutting its stuff ahead of going to auction

The spring and summer months can't be far off when the auction seasons kicks off again. So as well as the concours event at Amelia Island later this month (with the latest from Singer Vehicle Design, don't forget), there's also an RM Auctions sale taking place.

Now RM Auctions doesn't really do average and ordinary cars, and this sale is no different. The lot list includes a Toyota 2000GT, a Ford RS200 Evolution, a Bugatti Type 57 and a Mercedes 300SL Roadster amongst many others. See for yourself here.

Finished drooling? To this 512BB then. For whatever reason it doesn't seem as revered as some other mid-engined, 12-cylinder Ferraris, as reflected in this car's $275-$325,000 estimate. But would you just look at it?! It works from every angle, but full supercar peacock seemed the most appropriate pose for a new wallpaper.

This BB has been in the US for all of its 36 years, now residing with its fifth owner and with less than 45,000km recorded. It may not be the most exotic car in a frankly astonishing line up, but it's more than good enough for us. Enjoy!
