If the values here seem out of this world, how about this vehicle, enthusiastically suggested by a number of experts that include the heads of rival auction companies Bonhams and Coys, James Knight and
Chris Routledge. The latter even wrote the following:
‘What has always occurred to me is that perhaps the most valuable motor car in the world is not actually of this world at all. I nominate for the most valuable motor car the Lunar Roving Vehicle, manufactured by Boeing in 1971. Four cars were built, and when the first one rolled off the production line the cost to NASA was a staggering 5 million at today’s values, the total cost for the four cars being .3 billion. Chassis 01, 02 and 03 went to the Moon on Apollos 15, 16 and 17, while the fourth car remains with NASA here on earth.’
