Monterey Car Week 2021 is over, having survived the challenges of a covid pandemic that forced organisers to cancel most of last year’s events.

Carmakers keep telling us that sales of special new cars are booming because people have realised that they should enjoy life now, reasoning that you never know what the future might hold, and if this week’s auction results are anything to go by, that thinking holds for used cars, too.

These weren’t any old used cars though. We’ve ranked the 20 most expensive cars sold at auction during Monterey Car Week, and not a single one went for less than $3.3 million.
