Classic (and New) Cars That Were Auctioned For Over $1 Million

1956 Aston Martin DBR1

Price: $22.55 million

Auctioneer: RM Sotheby’s – Monterey, California, 2017

The Aston Martin DBR1 started manufacturing in 1965, with the intention of entering the World Sportscar Championship and other sporting car races. In 1959, it raced in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, in which the Aston Martin DBR1 emerged the outright victor.

When this legendary piece was brought to auction, it sold for an incredible $22.5 million- which I imagine is a mere pocket change for the new owner. Among the other notable attributes of this car are its drivers. Legendary car craftsman such as Carroll Shelby, Stirling Moss, Jack Brabham and Roy Salvadori are among the cars notable jockeys.

We’ve seen several rides with an okay, paint job, but let’s crank up the flash on this next one!!
