This story has become something of a New Year’s tradition here at Classic Driver. What began as a simple list of 10 cars that the experts thought would find favour in the following 12 months has turned into an in-depth analysis of the nuances of and trends in the collector car market. In 2019, said market was defined by caution and pragmatism. Now so more than ever, quality plays the greatest role when it comes to values.
What can we say about the top 10 most valuable cars sold at auction in 2019? Well, collectively, they represent the ‘best of the best’, the small segment of the market that has, against the common grain, exceeded expectations in 2019 and not fallen by the wayside like much of the auction house’s ‘bread-and-butter’ fare. And deservedly so – each is a truly exceptional motorcar, demonstrating exceptional rarity and unquestionable provenance.
