1. Ferrari 250 GTO
The Bonhams Quail Lodge Auction sold a super-rare Ferrari 250 GTO race car, with the chassis number 3851GT, for $38,115,000 (£26,593,890) in 2014. It broke a new record for the most expensive car ever to be sold, and it was all done over the phone!
Just 39 250 GT0s were ever made. The sold chassis was made in 1962, with the Series I bodywork, and was owned by the Violati family for over 50 years. Some experts predicted it would be sold for £35m but it fell some way short. Henri Oreiller fatally crashed the front-engined V12 machine during a race, but it was completely rebuilt.
If you could have one of these cars, which would you pick?
