“This year Ferrari could only seal third place in the list and only three Ferraris featured in the top ten,” said Hagerty’s UK price guide editor John Mayhead, who supplied the data you see here to TopGear.com. “This is a big change: from 2005 to 2016, Ferraris accounted for all but two of the most expensive cars sold publicly in any particular year. Since then, a Ferrari has only topped the list once (the 250 GTO).”
