This Mercedes-Benz W196R won the 1954 German and Swiss Grands Prix with Juan Manuel Fangio behind the wheel. It sold at auction this year for an astounding $29,619,826. Love how it hasn’t been restored; the wear lends an authentic feel.

Thanks Nicholas, updated
awesome car, at first glance that plaid seat really didn’t do it for me against the minimal paint job.
