In 1965, Ford made six prototypes of the GT40 – all open-roofed. Five were subsequently converted into hard tops but this one – the first of the six – once driven by Formula One legend Jim Clark, was left in its original configuration.

A 1964 Pegaso Z-102 Berlinetta Series 2 – named after the mythical flying horse and built in the former factory of Spanish automotive/French aeronautical engineering company Hispano-Suiza.

One of only 84 cars (each with its own unique coachwork) created between 1951 and 1958, this fully restored Concours champion (with coachwork by Saoutchik of Paris) can be yours for a mere €620,000+.

Yours for (at the very least) €1,052,232
