This is what £20million looks like
Scoop your chin off the floor, wipe away the drool, and try to stop rubbing your eyes in disbelief - RM Sotheby's first classic car sale of the year is rammed with a bounty of automotive beauty.
We've dug out the ten models expected to sell for the highest fees at the fourth annual Paris sale taking place on February 8th, and they're all absolute stunners.
The most expensive motor on the list is expected to achieve in the region of £4.7 million (€5.5m) and collectively these ten cars are worth over £19.8 million (€23m). Let the dreaming commence.
1995 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet - Estimate: £728K-£850K
This is one of just 14 special-order 993 Turbo Cabriolets ever produced by Porsche's Exclusive Department, formerly known as the 'Special Wishes' office.
1964 Porsche 901 Cabriolet Prototype - Estimate: £728K-£850K
In the world of collectible classics four individual words can have a huge impact on value: 'first', 'last', 'only' and 'original'. That makes this prototype 901 Cabriolet a bingo car, as it ticks all four terms.
1989 Ferrari F40 - Estimate: £810K-£900K
The ultimate poster car of the 80s and 90s, F40 values have soared into seven-figure territory in recent years.
1954 OSCA MT4 - Estimate: £835K-£1M
If modern-classic supercars aren't your bag, how about a vintage lightweight racer, like this OSCA (standing for Officine Specializzate Costruzioni Automobili) MT4?
1962 Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet - Estimate: £835K-£1.03M
Just 200 Series II 250 GT Cabriolets came off the production line, and this 1962 example is the second-to-last to emerge.
1988 Porsche 959 Sport - Estimate: £1.3M-£1.7M
While the Ferrari F40 took its top speed crown, the Porsche 959 certainly hasn't been defeated in the rising value race, as this 1988 version exemplifies.
1965 Ferrari 275 GTB by Scaglietti - Estimate: £1.5M-£1.9M
There's no question that 275 GTBs are in limited supply these days, and earlier short-nose versions are more sought after than their beakier successors. With just 250 made, they're undoubtedly hard to come across today.
1973 Ferrari 365 GTB Daytona Spider - Estimate: £1.5M-£2M
You get the way this list is going - small production convertibles with dedicated owners and all the original parts in their right places. Guess what? This '70s Ferrari is no different.
1934 Alfa Romeo Tipo B P3 - Estimate: £3.2M-£4.25M
Seven. That's how many second-series wide-body Alfa Romeo Tipo Grand Prix racers were made. This beauty is number six.
1970 Porsche 917 Spyder Prototype - Estimate: £3.9M-£4.7M
Remember the 1971 film Le Mans featuring Steve McQueen? The Porsche 917 was his weapon of choice. This is one of the prototype cars that spearheaded the development of that car, which is considered one of Porsche's most important racers of all time.
