Post by: Sir Tigger KC on 26 August 2013, 00:25:32
No not the old bangers or P/X's sold down at the local car auctions, but the mega expensive classics sold at the likes of Bonhams and Christies.   :)  So here from Bloomberg are 20 of the most expensive auction cars ever....  8)

Unbelievable what people will pay for a car especially in the states at auction . I watch that Chasing Classic Car's and the prices some of those cars go for is staggering  ::) The customer buys a car and tells the garage to totally rebuild it including the engine , then they get a letter of authentication form the car manufacturer to say its rebuilt to factory spec .

Last night a Ferrari went for £800k . The Pick nick case alone was estimated at £30k  :o

Then again, if it's got the same paint on it as when Fangio drove it, who's going to volunteer to give it a quick blow-over? ;)
