Yes, the Bertone Mantide is going up for Auction, after a decade of fun, at the Worldwide Auctioneers Scottsdale Auction on Wednesday, January 15. So I'm taking this opportunity to relive the glorious adventure we had, traveling from NYC to Monterey back in 2009: 4643 miles, eight days, four supercars---McLaren F1, Bertone Mantide, Ferrari Scuderia 16M Spider, Ferrari 612 Scaglietti---and zero tickets.
My article on the trip was published in Automobile magazine, with photography by Daniel Byrne, Brian Konoske, Mark Nolan and yours truly. But that article was edited for space (and, sure, trimming my excesses). The original piece I submitted ran more than twice as long, with a lot more detail and mis-adventures. I'll be publishing the full, unexpurgated version here this week, as we go!
By way of background, here's a good piece in Hemmings about the Bertone Mantide. Dan is back and living in London, a senior executive at an international financial firm. Glenn is still building mansions in Maine, Mark is traveling the globe in IT, and Dennis is in private equity, based in Boston but on the road too.
And, yes, we are grossly overdue for another adventure. Stay tuned!
