The “Honeymoon Express” is another magnificent automobile reflecting Orin Smith’s incredible eye for automotive artistry, and represents the most extravagant, streamlined “Jet Age” design on a Rolls-Royce chassis; never before had such modern styling been seen on a conservative British luxury automobile. The example on offer, chassis no. SGE270, is one of only two built to the “Honeymoon Express” design, and, with its sister car in long-term ownership, the only example available or likely to become so. The recipient of a superb, award-winning restoration by marque specialists, it has enjoyed a known history with three, private long-term owners from new (Est. $1,300,000-$1,800,000).

Additional notable attractions for RM Sotheby’s two-day Amelia Island sale include:
a fascinating and exceptionally well-documented 1971 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Berlinetta Competizione Conversion, chassis no. 14115, ordered to competition specification through Luigi Chinetti and intended to compete at the 1972 12 Hours of Sebring. The car unfortunately never got to take to the track in period, but is more than ready for competition today, having undergone a five-year restoration to its true competition specification (Est. $1,250,000-$1,500,000);

an immaculate, Ferrari Classiche certified 1995 Ferrari F50, chassis no. 104220, originally delivered to famed heavyweight Champion boxer, Mike Tyson, and showing just 5,694 actual miles (Est. $2,200,000-$2,400,000); and,
