Octane's Winston Goodfellow was tasked to give The World's Most Expensive Car Sold at Auction one last go in Arizona before it went under the hammer. Ah, the toils of being a motoring journalist!

RM Auctions and Sotheby's made history yesterday, selling a 1957 Ferrari 250 TR for $12,156,252 (€9,020,000), a new world record for most expensive car to be sold at auction.

The 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa is unarguably one of the most beautiful and successfully designed race cars ever. RM Auctions has one. It's perfect and expected to destroy the $10,894,400 record set last year.
