Classic car prices on the up: Jaguar D-type sells for £3 million

Classic car prices seem to be ever-rising, with historic models becoming an investment to rival buying property or gambling on the stock market.

The inaugural RM Auctions Paris sale this week was a case in point, and resulted in nearly £15 million’s worth of the world’s rarest and most exotic cars going under the hammer.

Four cars alone went for in excess of £1 million, and a Jaguar D-type sold for three times that amount. Here, MSN Cars lists the top 10 most expensive cars in the event. As you’d expect, they’re each rather special.
