The Ken Roath Collection

Global collector car auction house Gooding Christie’s has announced the Ken Roath Collection for its upcoming Amelia Island Auctions on Thursday, March 6 and Friday, March 7 at the Omni Amelia Island Resort. Gooding’s 15th annual Amelia Island sale will present vintage and modern offerings from the Ken Roath Collection, including an exceptional Ferrari 250 Europa GT, a beautifully maintained Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ with extensive period Italian race history, and a matching-numbers Porsche 356 C Carrera 2 Coupe in Irish Green, among other selections. Over half of the offerings from the collection will be presented without reserve.

“Well known for his carefully curated cars, maintained and restored to the highest standards, Ken Roath’s collection contains the finest European sporting GT cars of the 1950s and 1960s,” says Gooding Christie’s Senior Specialist, David Brynan. “All of the Alfa Romeos are lightweight coach built models with period European racing history at major venues, including Le Mans and the Tour de France. The five Porsches represent the full evolution of the 356 model, from a 1952 Coupe to the final-year SC Cabriolet, highlighted by two four-cam-powered Carrera models. His vintage Ferraris, a 250 Europa GT and 365 GTC, represent the understated elegance of the marque’s classic GT cars from Pininfarina. These are all exceptionally high-quality cars, and we are so pleased to present a collection of this caliber at auction.”
