Bonhams & Butterfields
presents property
from the Reggie Jackson
Collection
Reggie Jackson’s life-long passion for fine
automobiles is expressed in the form of Thirties
American Classics, such as the V16 Cadillac and
Packard Model 733 Roadster right through to the
muscle power era of the Sixties with Corvettes,
Camaros and a Mustang GT500. These are matched
by their European equivalents as Reggie parts
with not only his Ferrari Daytona, but an ultra rare
Spyder version as well.

Craigs’ appreciation of thoroughbred horses.
