MONTEREY CAR WEEK was in full swing last weekend in Northern California. The annual gathering of car nuts features events, debuts of new models, and of course auctions.
Bonhams concluded its Quail Lodge Auction on Friday, highlighted by a 1959 competition Ferrari 250 that sold for €7,675,000
Have a look at that exquisite car, plus many of the other classics that compelled collectors to part with some big bucks. Ferraris dominate the collecting scene these days. And there was no shortage of them at Car Week.
All prices have been converted from dollars to euro.

Despite being 20 years old that F40 is still the top of my fantasy car list
Had the pleasure of seeing one in the metal a few weeks back. Looked as if it just came out of the factory. Stunning.
The Testarossa for me.
Mark, having driven one, I have to say it was disappointing. Just felt too big and lacked pizazz. Just an honest opinion. A 348 was better but a humble Lotus Elise left both Ferraris feeling bloated. Proper driver’s car and great value in smiles per mile.
Had a few nice cars over the years jags etc, people in irish car parks do love to slam there doors of the nearest thing to them though
As a car lover, a broke car lover, I can’t understand the rich people that buys these cars but never drive them? These are the best cars in the world and they just sit in garages unused. People hardly bought them 40 years ago and thought of them as investments or am I wrong?
There definitely would be those who bought them purely as an investment, and that still goes on. I’m mean, how many of the 300-odd people who were invited to but the F-50, Enzo or La Ferrari do you think bought them as investments? I agree completely with you though. It’s almost criminal to think of these cars just easting away in museum like garages. Nick Mason from Pink Floyd definitely has the right ideal, buys cars to drive and race, and damn the consequences.
3rd party fire & theft quote isn’t bad..
Did ya get windscreen cover?

“Ferraristas” ? You can’t just stick “istas” on to everything and make a pronoun out if it……btw I think the term you may be looking for is the Tifosi….
Tifosistas?
beautiful cars but it’s today’s Ferraris that are the ones to own if you can afford it. The 458 & 488 are possibly the best Ferraris made it terms of performance & driving & the fxx if you cab afford is faster than an f1 car. check out Guy Martin driving the only road legal fxx recently on YouTube & he said he never drove or rode anything faster.
I like my 2003 Focus Diesel.
Priceless.
If by priceless you mean €1,500 then yes, your car is priceless.
meanwhile, I can’t scrape €2 together for the bus..
Love the GTO.
Yeah my Fiat Punto is priceless also. Whoops. Sorry was meant to say priced less. It is priced less compared to other cars.
IF I could afford a Ferrari it would probably be the Enzo or a 625 TRC Spyder.
I have to say my choice would be the 62 Ferrari 250 California Spyder, possibly the most beautiful car ever built. If I ever win the Euromillions, I’ll by myself one of them and the rest of the family can share out the rest.
