Aston Martin Auction......



Another nice job for Aston Martin......



They arrive nice and early this year
( This is the sixth that i've covered )


and it's not just Aston's that arrive.....


This is by far the most expensive street legal car available
on the market today and capable of accelerating 0-60 in 2.5 seconds.

  Car specifications here


The room starts to fill up......






The car above is a rather rare 1965 DB5 Vantage Shooting Brake
which later sold for £390,000.
Below are three " found in barn " projects all of which sold rather well.







The memorabilia auction takes place in the morning......





......and the cars after lunch

Last chance to check the lots.








The star of the show.... 
A concourse winning 1963 DB4 Series V Vantage 4.2L Convertible.
One very pretty car which sold for a very pretty price £460,000.


Spending hundreds of thousands and so happy about it.


Amazingly busy this year.


If you wait long enough two Astons will pass....







and they all go home....
Just a small sample of over 300 shots taken on the day.
