Summary

It is not every day that one has the opportunity to choose from a rich selection of British car brand Aston Martin, which alone includes six DB4s, four DB5s and eleven DB6s. Bonhams offered 53 vehicles at the traditional "Aston Martin Works Sale" on May 21, 2016, of which 27, i.e. a good half, were sold, with sales of the expensive DB4-6 models in particular not quite going to plan. This auction article briefly analyzes the results and shows results and vehicles in detail.

Preview (beginning of the article)

It's not every day that you have the opportunity to choose from an extensive range from the British car brand Aston Martin, which alone includes six DB4s, four DB5s and eleven DB6s. Bonhams offered 53 vehicles at the traditional "Aston Martin Works Sale" on May 21, 2016, with a total estimated value of around 24 million British pounds (EUR 30 million, CHF 33 million). But the bidders proved to be choosy. David Brown bought Lagonda shortly after Aston Martin. He also produced vehicles under this brand for a while, but only one of these cars made it to the auction. This was a 3-liter DHC from 1955, but it performed exceptionally well, even though it was a restoration project.
