Many of the truly fabulous cars here need little introduction. Among the 75 cars below, it’s perhaps unsurprising that the list is dominated by Ferrari, however the likes of Bugatti and Mercedes-Benz make strong showings. Porsche, Bentley, Duesenburg, Ford, Shelby, McLaren, Jaguar, Alfa Romeo and Aston Martin also feature on the list, with seven different auction houses taking the cars under the hammer.
So, with bidding paddles at the ready, let’s get started.
