Giorgio Armani’s Blue Bentley Brooklands Goes Under the Hammer in Monaco
A 1996 Bentley Brooklands once owned by Giorgio Armani, finished in Deep Royal Blue with parchment leather and AG138SE plates, is headed to RM Sotheby’s Monaco auction. Only 153 left‑hand‑drive Brooklands were built that year, and the car features a turbocharged 6.75L V8 with about 300 hp, 0–60 in ~8 seconds, and a top speed around 130 mph. The pre‑auction estimate is 45,000–90,000 euros (~$52k–$104k), though typical 1990s Brooklands averaging around $16k could rise if provenance or color add appeal. Auction in April 2026 in Monaco.
Dollar Down, Drive Up: Isdera Imperator Headlines a Miami Auction
A tongue-in-cheek take on the dollar’s decline nudging buyers toward a rare 1991 Isdera Imperator 108i Series 2 at RM Sotheby’s Miami auction.

Last sold in euros in 2021, the car exemplifies luxury-collection risk as currency fluctuations loom.
