The 5 Most Expensive Vintage Cars

The 5 Most Expensive Vintage Cars Sold at an Auction

         1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spider - $18.5 Million 

                       

this 1961 Spider quickly sold and claimed all-time 5th place status. The black Spider was at various times owned by a number of actors, including Frenchmen Gerard Blain and Alain Delon of Airport '77 fame — Blain sold the car to Delon. Jane Fonda also owned this Spider, and there's a famous mid-1960s phototaken of her with it. This particular Spider was also rediscovered after languishing in nigh-obscurity as it had previously been thought lost or destroyed.

                     1964 Ferrari 275 GTB/C Speciale - $26.4 Million

The car was built by hand and has a transaxle gearbox. The best part: this        Speciale is one of three, and the other two are as likely to leave their owners'      climate-controlled garages as pigs who adapt to breathing water.

           1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 S NART Spider - $27.7 Million

NART stands for North American Racing Team. Enzo Ferrari built the NART Spiders, either way. Only ten were made, and they all had a wishbone independent suspension atop their five-speed. This particular Spider was notable because it was initially a charitable gift. This Spider was exhaustively restored and has a quad-cam engine

             1954 Mercedes-Benz W196 Silver Arrow - $29.6 Million

                      

In second place for dollar command is this 1954 Silver Arrow. This exact model was driven by Juan Manuel Fangio, a mechanic by trade and an iconic Grand Prix champion who was regarded with utmost respect within the field. Furthermore, only thirteen other Silver Arrows exist beyond this one. Mercedes-Benz still has possession of six and several more are in museums and with their respective owners.

The Silver Arrow's mechanics included technology that was quite ahead of its time. The car has a desmodromic valve actuation. This means that in lieu of a four-stroke engine that cycles air and fuel at the beginning of a cycle, and expels exhaust gases at the end, there are two dedicated actuators for closing and opening, sans reliance on a spring. The Silver Arrow's motor was calibrated by fuel injection.

                            1962 Ferrari 250 GTO Berlinetta - $38 Million

           

The single most expensive car that sold at auction is a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO for just over 38 million dollars. When it happened, it was the first 250 GTO to be auctioned after years of exclusive ownership—its previous sale was a private one. Interestingly, the sale also occurred on the anniversary date of the death of Enzo Ferrari, the car's designer and constructor.

Yet why is a GTO model the most expensive car ever? The answer is a simple one. A GTO almost never comes up for auction, because if one becomes available for sale, it's never for lack of a buyer. The GTO, which stands for Gran Turismo Omologato, is also rated one of the greatest Ferraris of all time. The Berlinetta was also one of, if not the first, cars to have disc brakes

Datsun Redi GO

Datsun Redi GO

The Datsun Redi GO is the third car from the Japanese automaker as part of its re launch strategy for the brand. It was unveiled at the 2014 Auto Expo and will join the GO, GO+ and the soon to be unveiled sedan (Russia market only) as Datsun’s budget offerings for various markets. It is a B-segment hatchback and is expected to sit above the GO hatchback in the Datsun hierarchy.

EXTERIOR
The Redi-GO gets a slightly more futuristic adaptation of the Japanese automaker’s fascia that was unveiled with the GO in July last year. It retains the chrome hexagonal grille from the GO and GO+ but gets sleeker swept back headlights. The fascia also includes a futuristic bumper which is separated from the front grille by a narrow air dam. The headlights and the fog lamps are both LED units but we expect that in the production version, the hatchback will get standard halogen units in a bid to keep the cost of the car down.
The side profile includes flared wheel arches and aerodynamic lines that extend into the boot and then onto the other side. The Redi GO’s roofline slopes at both ends and gives the impression that the car is forward leaning thanks to the little bits of the body work that cover the edge of the A-pillar and the C-pillar. Despite the quirky design, the Redi GO is a four door but we expect that headroom in the second row will be a bit of an issue if this is the shape adapted in the production version.

At the rear, the Redi GO gets a sloping roofline with a smaller rear spoiler. The two-tone bumper is body coloured expect for the number plate holder which has been painted in grey to match the same section on the front bumper. The tail lamp assembly flows from the rear wheel arch to a point near the middle of the boot door. Despite the rest of the car having so many lines and little touches to give it a funky appearance, the rear is little less spectacular than the rest of the car. We already know that it has a wheelbase of 2.3 meters which means the overall length of the Redi GO should be in the range of 3.2-3.6 meters.

INTERIOR
The interiors of the Redi GO have not been revealed but we expect that it will be a slightly more premium version than the ones found in the GO and GO+. It is expected to get all the standard features like the AUX-IN with two speakers, mobile charging point, beige upholstery, the dash-mounted gear lever and handbrake.

ENGINE

It is expected to be powered by the same 1.2-litre three cylinder engine that produces 67bhp and 104Nm of torque. Power is transmitted to the front wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox. It is possible that this car maybe offered with a CNG or an LPG compatible option also.

PRICE & LAUNCH
It is expected to be priced in the range of Rs 3.5 lakh to Rs 5.5 lakh and will compete in the B-segment with the Chevrolet Sail hatchback, Tata Indica eV2 and the Hyundai i10. It is expected to be launched in early 2015 for most of the markets where Datsun has a presence.
