However, just because a car has a few miles on the clock it doesn't mean it isn't as valuable. In June, 2012 Sir Stirling Moss's apple-green 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO sold for a staggering $35 million (approximately £22.5 million) -enough to make it the most expensive car in the world. Just to put that into perspective - $35 million could buy you more than 300 Porsche 911s or 2,886 Kia Picantos! £22,500,000 300 x PORSCHE 911s 2,886 x KIA PICANTOS OR Prior to the sale of Stirling Moss's Ferrari, the most expensive car on the planet was a 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic, which sold for an estimated £20 million. The car, one of just three built, was bought by a mystery bidder at the Gooding classic car auction in Santa Monica, California. Most expensive car insurance claim: Of course, if you own one of the most luxurious and pricey cars in the world, you are going to be facing an astronomical insurance claim if you crash. One of the best examples of this is comedian and actor Rowan Atkinson and his beloved McLaren F1. Bought originally for £640,000 in 1997, Atkinson first crashed the iconic supercar in October 1999, when he rear-ended a Rover Metro. However, this was nothing compared to the whopping £910,000 it took to repair the car after a crash in 2011. Atkinson lost control on a slippery patch of road and span several times before hitting a tree. The result was the most expensive car insurance claim in British history. £910,000 The unnamed insurance company decided the repairs were worthwhile as a McLaren F1 in immaculate condition costs over £3 million. £3,000,000 SOURCES: www.thesupercars.org | farm9.staticflickr.com/8226/8530941195_a0ea151cde_b.jpg | www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/ferrari/599/first-drives/ferrari-599xx | www.kia.co.uk/new-cars/range/compact-cars/new-picanto.aspx | www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/ferrari-250-GTO-sells-for-35-million-dollars-2012-06-06 | www.topspeed.com/cars/bugatti/2011-bugatti-veyron-164-super-sport-ar93002.html | www.marcadecoche.com/images/Ferrari-599XX44.jpg || www.maybachusa.com/landaulet/maybach-landaulet-features.php | www.topspeed.com/cars/lamborghini/2013-lamborghini-veneno-ar148788.html | www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/zenvo/st1/first-drives/zenvo-st1-v8-supercar | www.autoexpress.co.uk/aston-martin/one-77/62239/aston-martin-one-77-driven | www.motorauthority.com/news/1079400_price-dropped-on-pininfarina-designed-hyperion-rolls-royce | www.porsche.com/uk/models/911/911-carreral | http://cdn.niketalk.com/9/95/9582c9d5_ZenvoSide.jpeg | www.gmotors.co.uk/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Koenigsegg-Agera-R-side.jpg | www.zerotohundred.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/aston-martin-one-77-3.jpg | supercars.ws/bugatti/veyron-super-sport/veyron-super-sport-blue-carbon-fiber.jpg http://photo.netcarshow.com/Pininfarina-Rolls-Royce_Hyperion_2008_photo_0d.jpg | http://cdn.urbanislandz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/maybach_exelero.jpg | www.newsgab.com/attachments/cars-bikes/301647d1281467222-maybach-landaulet-2007-maybach-landaulet-study-rear-side-top-open-top-1920x1440.jpg | www.dieselstation.com/wallpapers/albums/Pagani/Zonda-Cinque-Roadster-2009/Pagani-Zonda-Cinque-Roadster-2009-widescreen-03.jpg | http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DG-z5nES_Hc/TJWB4XDLI2I/AAAAAAAAASI/MMEP1-BPDEQ/s1600/porsche911turbo26210245kq.jpg | http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/rowan-atkinson-sets-record-for-biggest-ever-car-insurance-claim-091922086.html http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UKXm8CKZqws/TWdrsAgmMXI/AAAAAAAAAOW/z1TEjIYfmoo/s1600/2488.jpg | www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2012/06/01-stirling-moss-ferrari-250-gto.jpg |. www.carsuk.net/wp-content/gallery/kia-soul-shaker-kia-picanto-white/kia-picanto-fuschia-blush.jpg
