Historic 1952 Jaguar C-Type fetches $2,530,000 at RM Auctions
The legendary car as expected was a complete show-stealer with its sexy looks. The car originally owned and raced by Phil Hill was driven up on to the stage at the auction by the renowned driver’s son, Derek Hill. The bidding quickly surpassed the expected $1,000,000 mark, only to finally stop at $2,530,000 which was the final selling price and the winning bid.
Despite the slack in the car collectors market, the RM Auctions event was quite a success as they managed to sell 85% of the 239 cars. The other best selling cars at this event were a 1955 Aston Martin DB3S that sold for $1,980,000 and a Duesenberg Model SJ Disappearing Top Convertible Coupe with a final sale price of $1,430,000.
