The most expensive classics of 2019
12/08/2019
In the recently completed annual magazine , we naturally also analyzed the auction results, but the present has already overtaken us (at least a little). Over the last two weeks, several cars have once again made it into the top 50, two even into the top 10 most expensive auction cars of 2019. It is practically impossible that the list of the 50 most highly traded cars in 2019 will change.
And so we can once again summarize the final result for 2019 here.
1st place: McLaren F1 'LM' Specification from 1994 (sold for EUR 17.825 million, CHF 19.41 million)
2nd place: Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 B Touring Berlinetta from 1939 (sold for EUR 16.4 million, CHF 18.5 million)
3rd place: Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider from 1958 (sold for EUR 8.9 million, CHF 9.7 million)
4th place: Lamborghini Veneno Roadster from 2014
5th place: Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta from 1962
6th place: Ford GT40 Roadster Prototype from 1965
7th place: Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta from 1963
8th place: Pagani Zonda Aether from 2017
9th place: Ferrari 250 GT Series I Cabriolet from 1958
10th place: Ferrari F2002 from 2002
James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 from 1965 was narrowly edged out of the top 10 at the last moment.
