Will this 1958 Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet sell for sell for €5 million Sotheby's auction? (pic included)

Question

The Sotheby's auction house is about to hold an auction in Monaco for an extremely valuable vintage car. Link:

Lot 250: 1958 Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet Series I by Pinin Farina

Sotheby's gave it an estimated value of €4,500,000 - €5,000,000 EUR. This market resolves YES if the final sale price listed on the Sotheby's website is >€5,000,000 EUR.

Resolution details:

Example from a past auction: this "2016 Koenigsegg Agera RSR" car is listed with "$3,380,000 USD | Sold". This is the equivalent number I will use.

Thus, note that the final listed sale price typically lists the additional buyer's premium.

If the car is withdrawn before the auction, or it fails to sell, this market resolves NO. It only resolves YES with a listed sale price during this auction of >€5,000,000 EUR.

The Pinin Farina-bodied cabriolet that Ferrari introduced at the Geneva Salon in March 1957 was not only a triumph of design, with its elegant rear haunches, covered headlamps, and long centrally ventilated bonnet, but it also marked an auspicious milestone in Maranello history as the company’s first series-produced open-top model.
