Respected industry commentator Edward Legge best summed up the auction results of Monterey Car Week 2017 as "better than expected." He continued: "In fact, to put the sales in context against a background of global political and economic uncertainty, we could probably find three more words to describe them – pretty darn good."

To put it in context, we don't need to go back too far. Just over a decade ago, $50 million in sales was a good year in Monterey. Compared to 2004, nearly three times as many cars are offered, twice as many are sold and revenues have increased seven fold.

As David Attenborough so succinctly put it, "someone who believes in infinite growth is either a madman or an economist." So maybe having a passion that pays for itself in the medium term is not such bad business after all.

Every car is different though, and they're all lovable in their own way. That's why we favor being able to present images of each car and the price it fetched and offer the links so readers can quickly examine the provenance and more images. It's that granularity and the ability to easily see the key factors that we hope is working for you.

Our regular Monterey Car Week auction preview listed no less than 113 cars with estimates exceeding US$1 million. Read on for pictures of the most valuable cars and what happened to them.

The first of just five DBR1 cars built. The RM Sotheby's press release called it "the most important Aston Martin ever produced." Only five were made, and between them they won the 24 Hour of Le Mans and the World Sportscar Championship in 1959. The Aston Martin DBR1 is now the most expensive British car ever sold at auction. See our extensive feature on this car.

$22,550,000 | 1956 Aston Martin DBR1 Number 1

The RM Sotheby's press release called it "the most important Aston Martin ever produced." Only five were made, and between them they won the 24 Hour of Le Mans and the World Sportscar Championship in 1959. The DBR1 also won the 1000 km Nürburgring race in 1957, 1958 and 1959, forever validating it had found the ideal balance of performance and handling to conquer endurance racing on the most demanding track in the world. This car won the third of those victories and helped dethrone Ferrari for the world title in 1959.

It is now the most expensive Aston Martin, the most expensive British car and the seventh most expensive automobile ever to sell at auction. It unseats a Le-Mans-winning Jaguar D-Type that previously held the British record at $21,780,000.

$15,620,000 | 1995 McLaren F1

No Official Estimate

Yet another record for the McLaren F1 and illustrative of a better informed marketplace bestowing historical perspective early on a milestone of automotive engineeering. Most collectible cars were made before 1970. The F1 is in its twenties, but already showing signs that it will challenge the Ferrari 250 GTO as the world's most desirable car.

Only 64 road-legal F1s were ever built and this car is one of just seven F1s federalized by Ameritech for legal road use in the United States.

Composite structure, naturally aspirated, the fastest road car in the world and then the rare feat of dominating Le Mans in a roadcar at the first attempt ... fairytales all round.

The F1 was already the most expensive modern car at auction, courtesy of the $13,750,000 paid for a 1998 McLaren F1 "LM-Specification" in Monterey 2015.

No sale: 1956 Maserati 300S

Estimate: $6,000,000 to $7,000,000

This car was purchased in 1978 for $13,700, though its history was not known at that time. Maserati works driver Stirling Moss described the 300S Maserati as "one of the easiest, nicest, best-balanced sports-racing cars ever made ..." which is high praise from a driver who raced nearly everything of note during the 1950s.

Moss started 13 races in a Maserati 300S and he took over the drive in three further races after having begun the race in different cars. From 16 races in the Maserati 300S he won nine times, placed second on three occasions plus a third and a fifth place and two retirements.

Moss described the 300S as being "... strong and dependable, also quite like an Aston Martin DB3S in its general feel and responsiveness, but it was even better balanced and, in my experience, almost unburstable. Today, people rave about Ferrari's fantastic reliability. True, they used to spread it wider across the board amongst all their customers, but a decently-prepared 300S had a chassis which was infinitely superior to any front-engined sports Ferrari and although it lacked their wonderfully smooth and powerful V12 engines, its 6 cylinder was always man enough for the job..."

Stirling Moss wrote in his diary after a particularly challenging Buenos Aires 1,000 km race in Argentina in which he started in a 450 S Maserati but finished in a 300S when the 450S had mechanical failure: "It had been a wonderful race for me which I enjoyed enormously... This was my greatest drive. Car (300S) fabulous - 6,400 rpm and I braked at 250 meters, in 450S braking at 500 meters..."

This car was also raced by "El Maestro," the legendary Juan Manuel Fangio, who used it to win the 1957 Grand Prix of Portugal and both heats of the 1957 Grand Prix of Brazil. Ex-Fangio race cars account for two of the four most valuable cars ever sold. That makes the estimate of $6,000,000 to $7,000,000 particularly relevant as it offers legendary provenance at a discount, plus race-winning performance and handling for classic racers.
