 | 11. 1968 Ford Mustang GT ‘Bullitt’ (£2.8m/$3.7m) The star Bullitt Mustang GT was hiden away for decades, with not even Steve McQueen able to persuade the owner to part with it. The car brought the highest sale price of any Mustang ever at public auction. |
| 10. 1965 Shelby GT350R Prototype (£2.88m/$3.85m) The very car honed by Ken Miles and Carroll Shelby. It is the prototype R, and thus the first Shelby Mustang to win a race. Rescued from a yard, it entered the Shelby American Museum for 14 years until 2010, when John Atzbach bought the car and returned it to its precise 1965 spec. The car made $3.7m at Mecum Kissimmee 2022. |  |
 | 9. 1955 Aston Martin DB3S (£3m). Having reliability issues with the Aston Martin DB3, A.G. “William” Watson engineered a superior race car. The end result was the DB3S, and in May 1953, the new prototype made its appearance at Charterhill, UK. The DB3S was a hugely successful race car. |
| 8. 1971 Lamborghini Miura SV Speciale (£3,2m). No Lamborghini Miura has ever cost more at auction than this gold P400 SV Speciale. The car is one of 150 P400 SVs produced, and one of 764 Miuras total. The car was made for French industrialist Jacques Dembiermont, who wanted dry sump lubrication and a ZF limited-slip differential. Finished in Oro Metallizzato (metallic gold), it rolled off the line in 1971. The car was restored by leading Italian marque specialists Carrozzeria Autosport and Top Motors. |  |
 | 2001 Ferrari 550 GT1. $4.29m. 12 Ferrari 550 GT1 Prodrive race cars were built, this being the second example made. This car won 14 races and claimed 15 poles between its racing in both the U.S. and Europe. |
