When Joe MacPherson began his collection of sports, racing, custom cars and vintage motorcycles many years ago, he probably never thought it would eventually be worth in excess of $10,000,000. But that's how much was raised by RM Auctions at Monrovia, California on Saturday. Enthusiasts from all over North America had the opportunity to pay tribute to Joe and purchase a piece of the state's renowned car culture as 50 historic motor cars, 25 vintage motorcycles and a range of selected memorabilia from Joe's Garage went on the block. The entire collection was sold, with the top price of $2,035,000 going for the supercharged 1923 Miller 122 racer seen above. The late Joe MacPherson was a successful auto dealer, a lifelong collector, a sports car racing fan, and a gentleman who was proud to display his collection to the many visitors who passed through the museum's welcoming doors.

Did anyone notice that the last TWO blogs have been about TWO old racers, both of which carry the number 2???

Well, that's 2 much of a co-incidence but no, to be frank, I never noticed. Thanks for drawing this to everyone's attention.
