10 of the most beautiful, expensive cars from the Pebble Beach auction

Remember Gone in 60 Seconds? The predictable heist flick of 2000, that saw Nicolas Cage et al pinch some dribble-inducing cars for a reason you forget about 30 minutes into the film?

That list of improbable motors doesn't hold a gasoline-fuelled candle to the motoring roll call of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance car auction

Exhibiting some of the rarest, most valuable motors in the world, several of the largest auction houses in the business come to offload their four-wheeled wonders to the assembled millionaires.

While you might have missed this year's opportunity to pick up a new ride (let's be honest, you'd only have been able to afford new air freshener from the gift shop), we've assembled the 10 most expensive, ridiculous cars to have featured in the week's auctions - a collection which brought in £78,628,464 alone.

Fetch yourself a bib and proceed to get some serious motor envy.
