We all know about Monterey's big winners, obvious beauties and auction record-breakers by now, but many fascinating cars seem to have slipped under the radar.
Time to correct that then – here are 10 more spots (some of them lesser-spotted) that I think everyone should know about
Alfa Romeo 6C Zagato (main image)
Owned by Alfa nut Corrado Lopresto, this car started life in 1931 as an ordinary (hardly the appropriate term, but hey-ho) 6C Zagato, but after a serious accident in the late-1930s, it was reshelled by tiny outfit Aprile, Lopresto's research crediting the styling to Count Revelli de Beaumont. It looked great on the Tour d'Elegance
Ferrari 275GTB
The reason why barnfinds at upmarket auctions achieve such silly prices must be because they stand out so against the gleaming, highly polished machinery. Perversely, there is definitely something more appealing about a dusty car and I am as guilty as anyone else of falling for it. Though perhaps not as guilty as whoever bid this one-owner-for-43-years 1965 275 GTB up to $946,000.
