At Monterey Car Week in Northern California, earlier this year, Bonhams conducted an auction that was highlighted by a 1959 competition Ferrari 250, beautifully restored, that sold for $8,525,000 (see above).

Ferraris rule the classic-car world at the moment, routinely fetching millions.

People are willing to part with huge sums of money to own one.
