I just read an article on The Throttle, they feature 5 of the most expensive cars ever. Here are highlights that any classic lover will enjoy!
1962 Ferrari 250 GTO
Not much of a surprise to see a Ferrari on the list, in fact we could have filled the list with Ferrari cars alone, but thought we would give others a chance! Ferrari have been producing some of the finest and most expensive cars in the world for decades.
Though it is fair to say that they haven’t produced many models that will sell for quite as much as the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO did in 2012.
It was sold in the US for a staggering $35 million – which is roughly £23 million.
So why did it sell for so much? Well, it was one of only 39 250 GTOs made back between 1962 and 1964 and just look at it – STUNNING.

1936 Mercedes-Benz 540 K Spezial Roadster
Although Mercedes don’t usually get compared to Ferrari”s in the same calibre, they are still one of the finest manufactures of all time and their classic cars are to die for.
The 540 K Spezial Roadster is noted as the third most expensive car to be sold at an auction when it went for $11.5 million – again in 2012.
This car is old and apparently it was built for the Prussiant royal family all the way back in 1936.
Built for Royals and billed as classic car royalty some 80 years later.

1931 Duesenberg Model J Murphy-Bodied Coupe
Perhaps one of the lesser known brands in the modern world, but this iconic model is a classic car God and a true innovator.
Can you imagine rolling around in one of these back in 1928?
It was known for its hydraulic and vacuum assisted breaks and lightweight.
It is one of the ultimate classic car collectables and sold for $10.34 million in 2011.

1931 Bugatti Royale Type 41 Kellner Coupe
Last but certainly not least we have the beautifully named ‘Bugatti Royale’.
We have had some royal cars on the list in their own little way but just like today, Bugatti made this one with dream of Kings and Queens across the world driving his biggest luxury cars.
He certainly achieved that and although you are very unlikely to see the Queen parading in a modern day Bugatti, the Bugatti Royale would have been very much up her street.
She may have even purchased one after it was sold for a mere $9.8 million in London a few years ago!
