In comparison, this year's two most expensive Ferraris were both estimated to fetch upwards of $13 million. One was a 1958 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider that sold for less than the estimated range. The other was a 1962 Ferrari 250 California SWB Spider by Scaglietti that didn't sell at all.

In fact, most of the Ferraris sold under the estimated range, and several of the ones auctioned by RM Sotheby's didn't sell at all. Only one Ferrari on the list sold above the range.
