There are only a few automotive icons. Next to some typical everyday cars like the Volkswagen Beetle, the Citro\u00ebn 2CV or the Austin Mini almost all other icons are sports cars like the Bugatti Type 57 Atlantic, the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, the Porsche 911 or the Ferrari 250 GTO. The last one holds the world record for most expensive car at auction (38.12 million US$ in 2014) and now might have added another record to its list: If all current rumors are true one changed hands last week, making it the most expensive car ever sold.

Naturally car fans know that only 39 Ferrari GTO have been produced, seven of them with the Series 2 bodywork, three with Series 1 body and bigger four liter V12 engine as 330 GTO, leaving 29 adorable Series 1 cars with iconic bodywork, long bonnet, glassed headlights and small rear lights. One of them with chassis number 4153GT was delivered new to Belgian Ecurie Francorchamps and raced also for Ecurie National Belge. It scored fourth place at Le Mans 1963, won the Tour de France 1964 and was raced in 14 international races within those two years. From 1966 on it was used in Spain for three more years. Although it has got this racing history, this car never crashed and so it is one of the most original cars of its model line.<\/p>\n\n\n
