Excuse while I go and buy all of the lottery tickets.
 
Azzurro Nuvola Micalizzato with cream leather interiors, great combo!
Also, it's so strange to see a 166 in the US, is this even legal to drive there?
Typically, they're not. Aside from the 25 year old rule, there's another law that requires jumping through a bunch of hoops to make any import legal to drive in the US and I think there's another where you can use it as a show car, but drive it a certain amount of times per year.

For the 166, I don't know if this one has done either of the latter 2.
 
Listed as the only Tuscan to be legally imported to the US under a now-closed loophole, price doesn't seem that crazy at $100,000 (be interested to know what they normally go for in Europe). Our old pal Doug DeMuro has an article stating there's only 5 or 6 in the Western Hemisphere.

About £50k for the best ones here in the UK.

Yep, #19 of the run. Came from Australia, didn't sell at the auction. Last I saw, a local SoCal dealer had it listed for $645,000 before eventually selling a few months later. No title or street legal, likely went overseas.
 
Extremely rare 550 GTS from Prodrive coming up for auction. These primarily change hands off market, so finding one available in an auction setting is pretty unique. No estimates given, but I'm going to guess $1.75M to $2M. TMK, these were much more successful than the 575 GTCs & imo, should be able to command the prices those examples receive, in addition, also coming for sale much less often (I know of at least 3 575 GTCs for sale in the last year; #2224, #2206, #2220).

Another rare car from her collection will also be up; '71 Daytona Competizione. This example though, was sold late last year by DK Engineering.

*To avoid double posting, I'll just edit this:

I was far off the mark. This beautiful 550 GTS is est. to be valued around $4-5 million. Her stable mate Daytona, is est. at a tight range of $2.2-$2.275 million.
