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.
