Here's another way to spend $38.1m at the Monterey auctions

So, the $38.1m winning bid for the Ferrari 250 GTO took it just beyond your reach, and you now have a not-insignificant sum lying dormant in your account. But with RM, Rick Cole and Bonhams still to hold auctions this weekend, you might be able to secure all of these beauties for a similar outlay...

Admittedly, we've been somewhat optimistic, using the lower estimates of the selected cars and not including the buyer's premium. But let's face it, if you were willing to drop $38m on the GTO, then you're not going to mind going that little bit further – especially considering that you'll be the new owner of not one, but 15 beautiful classics.
