One of the most celebrated Aston Martins is the DB5 and the sale saw two offered - a fixed head and a
convertible. The elegant DB5 Sports Saloon sold for £628,700 to a bidder in the saleroom after a lengthy
bidding exchange whereas the second, a 1965 DB5 Convertible, attracted attention from across the globe
with bids coming in on the telephones, online and in the room. It eventually sold for £886,300 to a bidder in
the saleroom.
It wouldn't be a Bonhams sale without a barn find, and a pair of projects that drew the attention of the
assembled crowd were the 1951 Aston Martin DB2 Sports Saloon which achieved £66,460 and the 1954
Aston Martin DB 2/4 Mark II DHC which had traveled all the way from Massachusetts. It realized £225,500,
a testament to the enthusiasm that Aston Martin lovers still retain for exciting and rare projects.
Further highlights of the sale included the ex-Jools Holland 1967 Aston Martin DB6 Mk1 Volante which
sold for £494,300 and the eye-catching 1958 Aston Martin DB MkIII DHC which achieved £395,500.
Other highlights included:
- 1959 Aston Martin DB4 Series 1 Sports Saloon (£371,100)
- 1956 Aston Martin DB2/4 Mark II 3.7-Liter Coupé (£281,500)
- 1980 Aston Martin V8 Volante Convertible (£163,900)
James Knight, Group Motoring Chairman and the auctioneer for the sale, commented: 'Our annual Aston
Martin sale is always a highlight of the motoring calendar, and we were delighted to have such a good result. I
was particularly pleased with the attendance, the sale attracting many new visitors as well as our existing
clientele. The setting certainly helped create a wonderful atmosphere and we look forward to building on this
year's success."
