66-year-old Canadian financier Miles Nadal has interests in everything from wealth recommendations to real estate, but he also has an impressive collection of vintage cars and sneakers. Later this year, the RM Sotheby’s team will be tasked with auctioning off the two complete collections, plus several Ferraris, estimated at more than $4 million each.
Yes, there is an amazing Ferrari F40 in the program, first registered in Japan and part of Nadal’s collection ten years ago. There’s also a striking blue 1967 Ferrari 275GTB/4 from Scaglietti; an ugly Ferrari Enzo with the head of a sheep; and the modern SF90 Stradale in the mix. Nadal’s “Big Five” also include a McLaren P1 with a special Gulf-inspired livery that he commissioned as a one-off piece from the manufacturer.
Other cars ripped from the posters hanging on your bedroom walls come with a Jaguar XJ220; first-generation Ford GT; and a 1989 Lamborghini Countach. Each of those triads is expected to reach $1 million before the auction pallets stop flying; Total sales of all the cars in the collection are estimated at more than 60 million US dollars.

RM Sotheby’s has only indexed 32 cars in its catalog, but says it sells “the entirety” of the “D2D” collection, which includes about 100 cars, plus 60 other less prestigious vehicles. Anyone drawn to antique steel will appreciate the 1965 model. Aston Martin DB5 Bond type paint, which appears in the required Silver Birch paint color; or the duck-tailed Porsche 911 from the early ’70s. We love the stunning Ferrari Daytona that would look wonderful in front of a coffee shop in Monaco.
Nadal’s extensive shoe collection is equally interesting. For anyone who doesn’t know, amassing a significant amount of traditionally significant or celebrity-infused sneakers is a new way for the ultra-wealthy to indulge in an exclusive pastime: Nadal was handed over to about five years ago.
But as a reminder, at a recent auction, six shoes worn by Michael Jordan in one of the deciding games of his six NBA Finals sold for $8 million. According to Nadal’s private website, his collection also features the 1972 Nike Waffle Racing Flat. “Lunar Shoe”; the Nike Mag from Back to the Future II; plus a pair of autographed Jordans used in MJ’s rookie season game.
The sale of this festival of wealth will take place on the last day of May and the first day of June this year. Instead of upping the ante and paying for a conference center-style space, the auction will actually be done directly into the collection. space in Toronto, described as a 17,000-square-foot exhibition area. You can rest assured that each and every element of this conscientiously chosen meeting has been placed for maximum visual effect and maximum selling price.
