Historic Ferrari Sale Headlines Broad Arrow's Record-Setting Debut at Villa d'Este
⚡️ Read the full article on Motorious
A 1948 Ferrari 166 Spyder Corsa shattered records at Broad Arrow Auctions' first European event, selling for €7,543,750 and setting a new high-water mark for the model. The landmark sale headlined Broad Arrow's debut at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este, held on the shores of Lake Como in partnership with BMW AG.
The auction house, a subsidiary of Hagerty (NYSE: HGTY), reported €31,172,625 in total sales over the May 24–25 weekend, with 78 percent of lots sold. The dual-day auction marked Broad Arrow's inaugural sale on European soil, held in the historic Rotunda at Villa Erba.
'We are thrilled with the success of our first European auction,' said Joe Twyman, Broad Arrow's VP of Sales for EMEA. 'To launch our presence with such a prestigious event and achieve several record-breaking results speaks volumes about our global client base and the quality of vehicles offered.'
The Ferrari 166 Spyder Corsa, lauded as one of the most original early Ferraris in existence, was a standout. Commissioned in period by one of Enzo Ferrari's earliest customers, the car boasts a significant competition pedigree, including appearances in the Mille Miglia and Targa Florio. The auction room fell silent during a tense bidding war, with the final price confirming the car's place in the upper echelon of historic Ferrari values.
Other notable sales included a 2003 Honda NSX-R, which set a world auction record at €934,375, and a 1989 Ferrari F40 Competizione, which commanded €2,312,500. A BMW M1 Procar-spec car, sold during a BMW-only auction session, fetched €602,500.
With over 8,000 viewers following online, Broad Arrow's first Villa d'Este sale exceeded expectations, showcasing everything from postwar icons to modern collectibles. The auction house will next head to California for its Monterey Jet Center sale this August 13–14.

ROSEN, RECOGNIZED INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages DoubleVerify Holdings, Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - June 27, 2025) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of DoubleVerify Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DV) between November 10, 2023 and February 27, 2025, both dates inclusive (the 'Class Period'), of the important July 21, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline. SO WHAT: If you purchased DoubleVerify common stock during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the DoubleVerify class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 21, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) DoubleVerify's customers were shifting their ad spending from open exchanges to closed platforms, where DoubleVerify's technological capabilities were limited and competed directly with native tools provided by platforms like Meta Platforms and Amazon; (2) DoubleVerify's ability to monetize on Activation Services, DoubleVerify's high-margin advertising optimization services segment, was limited because the development of its technology for closed platforms was significantly more expensive and time-consuming than disclosed to investors; (3) DoubleVerify's Activation Services in connection with certain closed platforms would take several years to monetize; (4) DoubleVerify's competitors were better positioned to incorporate AI into their offerings on closed platforms, which impaired DoubleVerify's ability to compete effectively and adversely impacted DoubleVerify's profits; (5) DoubleVerify systematically overbilled its customers for ad impressions served to declared bots operating out of known data center server farms; (6) DoubleVerify's risk disclosures were materially false and misleading because they characterized adverse facts that had already materialized as mere possibilities; and (7) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about DoubleVerify's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and/or misleading or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the DoubleVerify class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff. Follow us for updates on LinkedIn: on Twitter: or on Facebook: Attorney Advertising. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. ------------------------------- Contact Information: Laurence Rosen, Esq. Phillip Kim, Esq.

S&P Global Ratings affirms Ecopetrol's Stand-Alone Credit Profile (SACP) while adjusting its global credit rating
BOGOTA, Colombia, June 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ecopetrol S.A. (BVC: ECOPETROL; NYSE: EC, the 'Company') informs that on June 27, 2025, the credit rating agency S&P Global Ratings downgraded Ecopetrol's global credit rating from BB+ to BB and maintained the negative outlook. This action is aligned with the downgrade of the Republic of Colombia's sovereign rating on June 26, 2025. Additionally, the agency affirmed Ecopetrol's Stand-Alone Credit Profile (SACP) at bb+. In its report, S&P stated that Ecopetrol's global rating was adjusted in line with Colombia's sovereign rating and remains capped by it, due to the Company's significance in national revenue generation, its status as a government-related entity, and its role in the country's energy transition. The negative outlook on Ecopetrol reflects the sovereign's outlook. Regarding the stand-alone rating, the agency expects Ecopetrol to maintain its leverage ratio (debt/EBITDA) between 2.0x and 2.5x, with an EBITDA margin close to 40%. S&P also positively highlighted the Company's 2040 strategy, which focuses on growth prospects, reserve replacement, high operational availability of refineries, and strengthening the investment portfolio through business diversification. The full report issued by the agency on June 27, 2025, announcing the rating action, can be accessed in the link below: Ecopetrol is the largest company in Colombia and one of the main integrated energy companies in the American continent, with more than 19,000 employees. In Colombia, it is responsible for more than 60% of the hydrocarbon production of most transportation, logistics, and hydrocarbon refining systems, and it holds leading positions in the petrochemicals and gas distribution segments. With the acquisition of 51.4% of ISA's shares, the company participates in energy transmission, the management of real-time systems (XM), and the Barranquilla - Cartagena coastal highway concession. At the international level, Ecopetrol has a stake in strategic basins in the American continent, with Drilling and Exploration operations in the United States (Permian basin and the Gulf of Mexico), Brazil, and Mexico, and, through ISA and its subsidiaries, Ecopetrol holds leading positions in the power transmission business in Brazil, Chile, Peru, and Bolivia, road concessions in Chile, and the telecommunications sector.

Jonathan Anderson's Grunge Aristocracy at Dior
PARIS — The enormous tent constructed in the Place Vauban for Jonathan Anderson's debut at Dior was printed with a silvery evocation of the past, a monochrome image of Christian Dior's decorous couture salon. Fast forward to the present, 75 years later. That tent had been exhaustively climate-controlled to allow for the hanging of two paintings by Jean Siméon Chardin, the 18th century artist who is regarded as the master of the still life. He was a favourite of Dior's, Anderson's too. The Chardins were his idea. So was the inspiration for the showspace, clad in velvet like the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin, home to one of the finest collections of European art from the 13th to the 19th century. One Chardin came from the Louvre, the other from the National Gallery of Scotland. Reflect for a moment on the logistics involved in transporting monstrously valuable works of art to a tent packed with an unruly, heatstruck audience for one hour on a Friday afternoon in Paris and you'll maybe garner some notion of the political and financial power that a fashion conglomerate like LVMH, which owns Dior, now wields. Ah yes, the present. Dior Menswear Spring/Summer 2026. (Spotlight/ And the future? Well, for that single stretch of showtime, it rested in Anderson's hands. He's been cast as Dior's saviour in a challenging market — and is the first to oversee women's, men's and haute couture collections since Monsieur Dior himself first experimented with menswear. Unsurprisingly, Anderson has been soft-pedalling expectations. 'You have to, because no one gives anyone any time anymore,' he conceded at a preview earlier this week. In another exchange, he said, 'My idea is to be slightly optimistic, it's not going to happen overnight. We have to be realistic today.' But his attempt at lowering the temperature was clearly unsuccessful. His audience was littered with pop stars, movie stars and a full platoon of fashion peers, many of whom were on their feet at show's end. Dior Menswear Spring/Summer 2026. (Spotlight/ Anderson was insistent that Dior was something alien to him. 'It's not a character that I know.' But that's what seduced him. 'It's like buying a chateau in the South of France that you saw on a website, a very British thing to do. It's beautiful, but it needs so much renovation. You have to start somewhere, and as you go, you realise, 'Wow! It's amazing what they did in the 18th century with door handles,' and then you find the next thing and the next thing.' And those 'next things' were the years of input from all the designers who have worked for Dior over the decades. To isolate the most striking carryover from the past in Anderson's debut collection: Maria Grazia Chiuri's wildly successful book tote reappears rendered as the covers of specific titles, In Cold Blood, Bonjour Tristesse, and, luridly best of all, Dracula. ('Because it's Irish,' he said archly.) He compared the learning process to doing a PhD in Dior. What did he come away with? 'I feel the name is bigger than the individual designer. It was always like that. So that was the whole idea for me.' Dior Menswear Spring/Summer 2026. (Spotlight/ There will undoubtedly be plenty of people who look at what Anderson showed on Friday and question his concept of permanence. 'My idea was to decode it to recode it,' he explained, sort of. 'That's how the collection was built.' Take the first look, practically a manifesto in one outfit. 'How I feel I'm going to tackle men,' Anderson declared. 'Formality, history, the material, Irishness.' The cargo shorts were panniered with the extravagant folds of the Delft dress from 1948, originally carved from 15 metres of duchesse satin, duplicated for today in undyed denim. The jacket featured the classic Bar silhouette, cut here from Donegal tweed. The model sported a formal stock tie. 'An English stock,' Anderson explained, 'the French is looser. I like the idea of something that makes you lift your head up. There's an etherealness to the formality.' The shoes were based on the sandals he wore to school in the summer. In other words, a weird but winning fusion which spanned the decades between the Frenchman and the Irishman. Dior Menswear Spring/Summer 2026. (Spotlight/ 'For me, it's about a quiet radicalism,' Anderson said. 'For the customer, this is already going to be something that is pretty wild, but in my head, it's normal.' Why is it easy for me to imagine Christian Dior saying something similar 75 years ago? And if my proposed compatibility still seems like a bridge too far, there's their shared obsession with the 18th century. 'I got the guy who's been sourcing things for me for years to find me the best 18th century menswear, and then we meticulously recreated it. There was no point in changing the fit. When I saw it, I thought, 'That's Dior. Let's just put it up there as a thing.'' Like his own version of Martin Margiela's 'Replications' which he loved so much when he was starting out in fashion. Rebecca Mead's profile in the New Yorker earlier this year quoted Anderson saying this: 'Authenticity is invaluable. Originality is nonexistent. Steal, adapt, borrow. It doesn't matter where one takes things from. It's where one takes them to.' So Anderson showed his delicately toned, edibly alluring duplication of the jacket and waistcoat from an aristocrat's summer day look for the court of Louis XV with a dress shirt, black jeans and unlaced Dior trainers. Dior Menswear Spring/Summer 2026. (Spotlight/ Like that first look, it was a provocative encapsulation of the idea of personal style, or how you put things together to express yourself. A midnight blue velvet tail coat over chambray jeans, for instance. Or a delicately frogged white shirt over white jeans. Artistry and calculated artlessness, all of it set to a sensational Frederic Sanchez soundtrack that swung from Springsteen to Little Simz. Velvet, denim, sandals and a stock tie – 'I would love to be able to wear that,' Anderson said. 'Every time I've done a menswear show, I've always wanted to be able to do something I would love to be able to pull off. For me this is a fantasy, because it has to be. I find each person in the show equally attractive because I think they embody the 'thing.' I believe it, and if I believe it, then I want to dress like it.' Fashion as an act of faith: Anderson mastered that challenge at Loewe, and, if early reactions are any indication, he'll be able to translate that mastery to Dior. Dior Menswear Spring/Summer 2026. (Spotlight/ Finding the future in the past is not a particularly novel concept, but if I think for a moment that everything Anderson has done is almost like a movie, it clarifies how he was able to draw such an extraordinary cast of characters to Loewe and his own brand. One of them, director and frequent collaborator Luca Guadagnino, has been tracking him all week with a film crew. The designer talked about the looks in the show that were pure youthful street as his acknowledgement of Jean-Luc Godard and the nouvelle vague that transformed French cinema and French style, from New Look to New Wave. Anderson said it's also about him getting used to living in Paris, trying to work out what he loves about the city. 'I'm on Île Saint-Louis and there's something about this idea of tight grey corridors that have light at the end. No matter when you see people, they're always backlit. And everything looks great backlit. I find it fascinating because it feels like cinema somehow, and really that is how we approached the challenge.' Dior Menswear Spring/Summer 2026. (Spotlight/ The city is currently plastered with posters of artist Jean-Michel Basquiat and footballer Kylian Mbappé, the faces of the new Dior man (or, as Anderson says of Mbappé, 'a new vision of France'). 'I have to find a new language,' Anderson said. 'It's going to take time, and I don't want to be rushed. Anything is possible. At the end of the day, it's a job. And you always have to remind yourself that you love the work and you're gonna get the job done.' Consider this debut a great appetiser for the much more complicated meal to come.
