Coys has announced the docket for its “Legend et Passion” auction May 14 in conjunction with the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique. RM Sotheby’s and Bonhams also have sales scheduled during the Monaco historics weekend.

“It is an auction where legends and passion meet, where worldwide collectors and classic motorsport fanatics can find a way to get behind the wheel of iconic racing automobiles such as Lucien Bianchi’s Cooper BRM T86B,” Chris Routledge, chief executive of Coys, said in a news release.

The BRM, he added, is the car that “finished third in Monaco 1968, it is a genuine masterpiece of motorsport history with excellent provenance and an extremely reliable 12-cylinder engine.”

Also on the docket are a 1967 Alfa Tipo 33 Stradale Continuation, a 2005 Ferrari Superamerica, a 1960 Maserati 3500GT Vignale Spyder with coachwork by Carrozzeria Vignale, a 2001 Lamborghini Diablo GT, a 1955 Alfa Romeo Giulietta and a 1955 Lancia Aurelia B20 IV Series.
