A whopping price tag for a classic: 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO
First on our list is the sizzling 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO, once auctioned for a staggering R685 million. ‘GTO’ stands for ‘Gran Turismo Omologato’ but we suspect it secretly means ‘Goodness, that’s overpriced’! This rare gem is a genuine testimony to automotive art, justifying its hefty price tag.

The ultra-rare stunner: 1957 Ferrari 335S
Next up is the breathtaking 1957 Ferrari 335S, auctioned at a sky-high R588 million. Only 4 of them exist in the world, making this beauty rarer than a chicken’s molar! Besides, nothing says ‘snazzy’ quite like a vintage Ferrari.

The elegant speedster: 1956 Aston Martin DBR1
In third place, we have the glamorous 1956 Aston Martin DBR1, fetching a solid R342 million. Famously associated with Bond, James Bond, this machine was designed for style and serious speed. Licence to thrill, anyone?

Not your regular ride: 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4*S N.A.R.T Spider
The fourth spot goes to the 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4*S N.A.R.T Spider, selling for a cool R274 million. N.A.R.T stands for North American Racing Team, but we think it should mean ‘Not a regular transaction’… Because how often do you casually drop a quarter of a billion Rand on a car?

The blue sapphire of cars: 1935 Bugatti Type 57S Atlantic
The iconic 1935 Bugatti Type 57S Atlantic takes fifth place. This classic piece was exchanged for an estimated R250 million. With only 4 originally made, and 2 surviving, it’s like the blue sapphire of the car world!
