No, there’s no Grand Prix on, but there are “75 of the the finest racing and road cars in the world” all crossing the auction block at no reserve, according to RM Sotheby’s.

All 75 come from the collection of Jean Guikas, who in 1989 started a dealership called GTC that focuses on “the best classic and racing cars.” Makes sense when you look at his collection. Among the road cars are a three-owner Saoutchik-bodied Delahaye 135 MS and a Bizzarrini 5300 GT Strada, while the race cars range from classic Ferrari competition berlinettas to modern endurance racers and F1 cars. While we wouldn’t mind any of these historic racers in our garage, here are the eight that we’ll be watching the closest.
