RM-Sothebys

The dune buggy in which ​Steve McQueen took Faye Dunaway on a full-noise drive in the The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) is heading to auction. The custom Myers Manx buggy will go to auction at Bonhams Amelia Island auction in March, 2020.

It requires at least $10 million to buy a Ferrari 250 GT California Spider at auction. Two California Spiders (one SWB, one LWB) will be auctioned during Monterey Car Week this year, and how they fare will be a key indicator for the top end of the market.

Aston Martin's DB4 GT Zagato Continuation will make its public debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2019 this week. The limited edition (19 only) will become the most expensive Aston Martin in company history when deliveries begin later this year, with a price tag of £6,000,000 ($7,633,000).

The star of the show at this year's Monterey Car Week will be THE original Porsche. It is one of three original Porsche Type 64s built, the only one to remain intact from new, and it is the very first car to wear the now revered Porsche nameplate.

Car auctions have made the digital transition far better than most industries, and while we may no longer have the rampant bull market of a few years ago, the collectible car industry looks in better shape than ever. Here's a selection of the more interesting lots that sold in Paris.

Three-time Formula One Champion Ayrton Senna continued to smash records 25 years after his death at Retromobile last weekend, setting new auction price records for a Formula One helmet ($184,340 | €162,000​) and race suit ($110,372 | €97,500​).

This year we've assembled the 100 most interesting lots, regardless of whether they sold or not, and ordered them with the highest bid counted. It reflects the diversity of the automotive market this year more than ever.

Monterey Car Week is an auction venue like no other on the planet. Six major auctions occur during 72 hours, all within a few miles of each other, with a third of a billion dollars in sales. Here are the top 200 cars which caught our eye during the Monterey sales.

A new world record for a car at auction was set this evening when a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO sold for $48,405,000, breaking the existing record of $38.115 million set in 2014 for a 1962/1963 Ferrari 250 GTO.

The Ferrari 250 GTO is the "Holy Grail" for car collectors. All 39 made still exist, and owning one of these exquisite V12 road-registerable racing cars is the ultimate badge of success. With recent unconfirmed private sales of $52M and $70 M, the stage is set for a showdown in Monterey.

Many great cars have been built across the world in the last 120 years, but the Duesenberg SSJ going to auction with Gooding & Company on August 25, 2018, is arguably the most important road car produced by the American auto industry which dominated the century of the automobile.

One of the most significant cars in history will sell at Monterey this week, and it isn't the Ferrari 250 GTO.​ This Ferrari 275P won the 24 Hours of Le Mans twice, was the first mid-engined car to win, and twice set record distances for the event.
