If you missed it, Cars247 recently published the TOP TEN most expensive production cars in the world 2017. This time around this is a TOP TEN of the most expensive cars ever sold at auction.
Rare cars have always been a good investment. In more recent times they have become a great investment. Seen as a great way for the mega rich to hide their cash, the bidding war for the rarest of the rare is inevitable. The indicator that every car in the list was sold post 2013 shows that there is only one way the classic car market is going.
The value of the ten cars you are about to see total $260 MILLION, that is roughly the same value as 200 LaFerrari’s or 5000 Range Rover’s parked next to each other.

– Verified Auctions only.
– No private sales (Ferrari 250 GTO at $40 MILLION between collectors in 2013 is rumoured).
