SELECT Car Leasing has been helping to play detective by revealing the last known locations of the world’s most valuable lost cars.

In a bid to assist seekers of the missing cars, Select has mapped out where the cars went missing from different parts of the world. If found, treasure hunters could get their hands on cars worth £114.7m in total.

Featured on Select’s Treasure Map are:

  • The Aston Martin DB5, which appeared in James Bond’s Goldfinger, was stolen in 1997 and is the highest-profile car to go missing
  • The car had been stored in a Florida airport hangar before vanishing in suspicious circumstances in the dead of night
  • All leads on its whereabouts have, so far, proved to be red herrings.

Another car to go missing in the region was the Oldsmobile Golden Rocket. Dubbed as one of the most radical designs of the Motorama period, no one knows if the car still exists today. It was a common practice for General Motors to destroy concept cars after use, but no records exist of this taking place.

Select Car Leasing’s  20 classic cars, valued at over £114m, have famously gone missing from different parts of the world between 1912 and 2014.
