Bonhams Aston Martin Auction 2018 - differentiated bidder interest
Summary
No longer in Pagnell, where the Aston Martin factory is located, but in Reading (near London), Bonhams auctioned 35 Aston Martin vehicles on June 2, 2018. Rare convertibles and the second-built DBS were among them. Bonhams was less satisfied with the sales quota than with the £4.34 million raised for the cars, as interest was particularly high for the more expensive cars. In addition, 150 Automobila lots went under the hammer for the Aston fan. This report analyzes the results and shows the cars in pictures.

No longer in Pagnell, where the Aston Martin factory is located, but in Reading (near London), Bonhams auctioned 35 Aston Martin vehicles on June 2, 2018. On average, the vehicles were 44 years old and primarily sports cars from Aston Martin's long manufacturing tradition. Around a third of the cars were left-hand drive, the rest were right-hand drive. Racing cars were almost completely missing from the lot list, Bonhams saved these for the Goodwood Festival of Speed auction. At least five early Astons were looking for new owners in Reading, including a restoration project in the form of a 1951 DB2 (LML/50/29), which was offered for £ 40,000 to £ 60,000. However, the restoration base was worth considerably more to the interested parties and the project was sold for £ 66,460 (CHF 87,727 or EUR 75,764).
