Naples Wine Auction To Auction Off Rolls-Royce Phantom
Once again, it's time for the
posh auction that is part of the Naples Wine Festival in Florida. The
auction is famous for auctioning off some of the priciest cars in the world. This year you can snap up a customized
2006 Bentley Continental Flying Spur or a 2005 Ferrari F430 Spyder as well as yachting packages, trips and plenty of
wine lots. The 2006 Rolls-Royce Chardonnay Phantom shown here is being raffled off at $5,000 per ticket. Last year, the
companion car, a burgundy Phantom brought in $800,000 at the
auction. There will be only 300 tickets sold for the car (for a total of $1.5 million) which has a DVD system with
two screens on the backs of the front seats and a wine cooler under the center of the rear seat. It also comes with a
nine-liter bottle of 2003 Hartford Court Seascape Chardonnay engraved with a rendition of the car. The Naples Winter
Wine Festival always attracts a high-spending crowd and the proceeds raise money for children's charities in Collier
County. The auction takes place this Saturday at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort at Tiburon in North Naples.[via Naples News]
