Supercars from Bugatti, Lamborghini, Ferrari and Porsche are all included in the incredible sale.
The auction features a number of classics from an important single owner collection inspired by legendary films.
Top of the tree is the 1967 Lamborghini Miura SV – just like the one from The Italian Job.
The 1967 Lamborghini Miura SV was delivered new to Portugal in 1967 and converted by the factory to full SV specification in 1974.

The conversion is documented with period correspondence and invoices.
The Arancio orange Lamborghini was fully restored in 2008 and is expected to sell for £1.3million.
The sale also features a 1928 Bugatti T 44 Fiacre By Gangloff, a very rare survivor of only a handful remaining models.
It was once owned by the well-known collector and author of many Bugatti books, Uwe Hucke, in the mid-60s.

He kept Chassis No. 441141 until 1977 when he sold it to Helmut Schellenberg, the famous 1930’s Bugatti racing driver .
The 90-year-old ultra-rare Bugatti has a price tag of £485,000.
Racing fans can also get their hands on a pre-war model with Brooklands and Grand Prix history.
The 1936 Brooke E.R.A. Monoposto is being sold with the original 1936 Bedford WS race transporter and a comprehensive spares package – and there’s no reserve.
