At Monterey Car Week this year, the rare luxury cars were everywhere. Since organizers canceled the 2020 event, there was an even wider variety of vehicles up for sale. The 1995 McLaren F1 stole the show, but there were many other historically interesting luxury vehicles at the event.

The auction had 25% fewer cars up for sale than in 2019 but saw a 35% increase in total sales. A 1970 Porsche 917 K race car that was expected to bring in almost $19 million at auction did not sell at all. The Porsche 917 was featured in the Steve McQueen film “LeMans.” The top bid was $15 million, but that failed to meet the reserve price.

The most expensive luxury car that sold at Monterey Car Week, a 1995 McLaren F1 Coupe

According to CNBC, the 1995 McLaren F1 Coupe was the top seller of the whole week. Not only that, but the F1 was the most expensive car to sell at auction since 2018. It sold for $20.5 million and had only 240 miles on the odometer. According to the listing from Gooding & Company, this F1 came with a four-piece luggage set and a matching set of tools. This particular 1995 McLaren F1 was kept in a private collection for 17 years and was rarely driven. “Most of the mileage that the McLaren accrued while in Japan was added during a promotional filming session at a test course near Tsukuba.” Not bad for a 26-year-old McLaren.

This 1959 Ferrari 250 California LWB has an Italian flag livery which sets it apart from other luxury cars at auction. This Ferrari raced in Italy and was only imported to the U.S. for one year, in 1995. Like the McLaren F1, it is one of the only cars in Monterey Car Week history to fetch over $10 million at auction. The only other vehicle is a Mercedes-Benz AMG CLK GTR. This 1959 Ferrari 250 is just one of 50 examples of the long-wheelbase options.

In addition, this 1966 Ferrari 275 won its class at the 1969 1000 KM of Spa-Francorchamps and 1969 500 KM of Imola. All of the numbers on the engine, gearbox, and other components match. The previous owner restored this luxury car in 2018, and the pristine paint job is proof.
