11th Annual Bonhams Auction at Aston Martin Works Service - Click above for high-res image gallery

If you want to get your hands on a pristine or historically significant vintage Aston Martin, there's only one place to go: Bonhams' auction at the old Works Service in Newport Pagnell. Think of it as the Aston equivalent to RM's event at Maranello every year. It's been held for the past 11 years running, and this year's was the most successful yet with £4.7 million ($6.8M USD) in sales.

Among the lots that rolled across the auction block were a 1950 DB2 raced by Sir Stirling Moss (£513,000/$740k) and a mint-condition '68 DB6 that went for £124,700 ($180k). The Goldfinger DB4 sold for a more modest £84,000 ($121k) - but even that doubled it's low £40-50k pre-sale expectations, capping a day of sales far exceeding their estimated values. Details in the press release after the jump.
