Here are the Top 10 Auction results for the event

2014 Ferrari LaFerrari

2010 Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita

The CCX's engine was sourced from Koenigsegg themselves, instead of using Ford's familiar Modular engine.

2015 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse

We still aren't sure whether the Veyron is beautiful or pig-ugly.

2004 Porsche Carrera GT

Even today the Porsche Carrera GT is a technologically advanced car. It even features an 'anti-stall' clutch system.

The Carrera GT was a technological marvel when it was released in 2004. Featuring a 450kW (603hp) V10 engine, this 25 mile (40km) example sold for USD $985,000 (AU$1.2 Million).

1988 Porsche 959 Komfort

Did you know: the Porsche 959 actually helped change automotive importation laws in the United States.

The poster car of the 80s, the 959 was limited to just 329 units and featured a 331kW (444hp) twin-turbo engine which put power to the road via AWD. This Komfort specification model has travelled only 21,950 km. It had two owners in Italy before moving to the USA in 2013. It sold for USD $950,000 (AU$1.2 Million).

1963 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III Drophead Coupe

Despite resting beside some next-level supercars, the big Roly-Poly was not designed for g-forces.

The oldest of the top sellers at the auction, this Drophead Coupe has been through a full restoration, during which it was converted to left hand drive. It is one of only 11 produced by British coach builder H.J Mulliner. It sold under estimate at USD $610,000 (AUS $770,000)

2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition

The original Ford GT40 was built in the '60s to destroy and embarrass Ferrari at Le Mans.

1965 Shelby GT350 Fastback

No matter how many years go by, the original Mustang will always look great.

No classic car auction is complete these days without the sale of a 60's American muscle car. This 65 Shelby, 1 of only 562 produced in that year, has been completely restored with matching numbers and is now of a concours standard. It sold below estimate at USD $385,000 (AUS $486,000)
