We find our three virtual collectors again today: one careful about money, one quite wealthy and one decidedly fortunate. The first spends a maximum of €100,000 on a car, the second up to €750,000, while the third is not afraid of anything.
Here, we’ve listed the cars they have chosen from the European and American auctions of 2023, and as always, the Roarington editorial staff also made his choice for their favorite car of the year.
