Collector Cars
1937 Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster Price: $3.6 million ($4 million adjusted for inflation)
Date of Sale: Jan. 18, 2002
15th most expensive car at auction (and my personal favourite).
Although this entry isn't exactly "news from paris" It made me think about this apparent market. Very exclusive. One often hears about paintings beeing sold for record prices, or even dresses (see previous entry). Cars very rarely get publicised. Too technical? Not more so than rare watches or fine wine.... If you can help me understand this problem please let me know.
FYI: Most expensive car at auction
Bugatti Royale - 1931 Bugatti Royale Kellner Coupe Price: $8.7 million ($17.6 million adjusted for inflation) Date of Sale: Nov. 17, 1987
