Five Collector Car Auctions
For those who are not rare car collectors, the price tags can boggle the mind. Consider the projected value of this special 1957 Jaguar XKSS with pre-sale estimate of $16 to $18 million (watch video below). Being auctioned on Amelia Island March 10, 2017, time will tell the final price. Lot 061 is offered by Gooding & Company, and described as “one of only 16 examples built, the ultimate 1950s sports car.”
Note that last year’s highest priced car sold on Amelia Island was within that price range. A Ferrari sold during the 2016 Amelia Island event fetched a hefty $17,160,000, at Gooding’s sale.
