If anyone would like to buy the 1959 Ferrari California Spider for me, I would be very happy to accept the gift. ;-)) > **[The most valuable car collection ever to be auctioned is coming this year,...](https://www.theverge.com/2015/6/4/8727397/most-valuable-car-collection)** > > Including a Ferrari Enzo gifted to Pope John Paul II ---

Nice vehicles but my favorite is the Mercedes Gullwing coupe. Sorry **VDCdriver** but my wife wants a small farm with a barn and pond for our retirement years. That limits my gift giving to ties and other similar priced items. ---

I always lusted after the 55-56 gullwing coupe also until I found out the windows didn;t open and no a/c. They sure are gorgeous though. ---

I’m still a sucker for the Veyrons. I’m frugal as can be but if I won the Lotto I’d be tempted to blow a million or two on one of them. As to sheer beauty, I think that '59 Ferrari California has it and in the right color too. ---

I can’t get in or out of any of them anymore. If I won the lottery I’d go for the Bentley. In my younger days I would have made a different choice. ---

With the kind of money involved on these cars one could just hire someone to load and unload you… I understand where you’re coming from. The '96 Camaro belonging to my oldest son sits horribly low and has low seating with a mile of legroom. The tops of the door panels are shoulder high and it feels like I’m driving or riding around in a Burmese Tiger pit. With me anyway, there’s no turning and standing up to exit the car; it’s more a matter of rolling and crawling out. ---

I suspect many of them will be on their way to China… ---

> **I can't get in or out of any of them anymore. If I won the lottery I'd go for the Bentley.** We must be close to the same age because that’s the car I’d get. ---

Me too, but mountainbike will get the Continental, while I’ll go for the Mulsanne. Which model appeals to you, @MikeInNH? ---
