This year's Bonhams Aston Martin Auction registered a new record with a 1961 Aston Martin DB4 GT coupe selling for 1,079,500 GBP. With only 75 ever built the 1961 DB4 GT is probably one of the most sought after David Brown Aston Martin.
The 2008 Bonhams Aston Martin Auction generated a record £4.7 million with bids taken from enthusiasts from Latvia, Japan, Australia and the United States.
"We’ve hosted the event at Newport Pagnell for the past eight years with a growing number of owners and enthusiasts from around the world joining us. The record prices achieved at this year’s auction are testament to Aston Martin’s illustrious heritage, the iconic status of the
cars and the growing international interest in the Aston Martin brand," said Kingsley Riding-Felce, Aston Martin’s Director of Works Service and Customer Care.
