♔ ‘If it’s comfortable, easy to start, and has Bluetooth, it’s not iconic. It’s an appliance.’
Five cars.
One unifying theme: worship.
Whether you own them, chase them, or admire them behind a velvet rope at Pebble Beach, these icons define automotive royalty.
From Gullwings to gold-lined engine bays, they’re as collectable as Picassos and occasionally just as pricey.
Forget spreadsheets — this is wealth with wheels.

Five Cars Every Collector Should Know
1955: Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing
• First, with fuel injection. Fastest of its time. Those doors? Not a gimmick — a necessity. Germanic theatre at 160 mph.
1961: Jaguar E-Type Series I
• Enzo Ferrari nearly fainted when he saw it—disc brakes, a monocoque body, and a silhouette that still melts monocles.
1962: Ferrari 250 GTO
• V12 thunder, coach-built curves, and racing pedigree make grown men weep. Only 36 exist. Most are in vaults. Or dreams.
1987: Porsche 959
• Turbocharged nerd genius. It’s faster than its era deserved, with AWD wizardry and Kevlar everything. It whispered while others shouted.
1992: McLaren F1
• Naturally aspirated V12. Gold engine bay. Central seat. No ABS. Just you, physics, and the best thing Gordon Murray ever dreamt.
