It is probably the most successful one-make auction ever, Bonhams calls it the "Aston Martin Sale". It takes place in exactly the right place, namely in Newport/Pagnell, where most Astons were built.

Exclusively post-war vehicles

Bonhams is putting 42 sports cars and limousines worth around £10 million (EUR 13 million, CHF 13.5 million) under the hammer on May 13, 2017.

They were all built after the war from 1950 onwards. A good third of the vehicles are even less than 30 years old and some of them, as many as seven cars, are less than 10 years old.

On average, the vehicles were valued at £ 255,750 (EUR 305,369 or CHF 320,896), but the range is wide, with the cheapest lot starting at £ 12,000, while the most expensive car, a 1968 Aston Martin DB6 Volante, is expected to fetch over a million EUR or CHF.

Also barn finds and projects

The special thing about Newport/Pagnell is that unrestored cars, which will require a lot of effort, sweat and love to restore to their former glory, also go under the hammer, such as a rare Lagonda 2.6 liter convertible from 1950, but also an Aston Martin DB2/4 from 1957.

Six to twelve cylinders

The popular DB4 to DB6 types take up the largest part of the catalog, of which 16 vehicles are offered. The subsequent eight-cylinder models, including the DBS predecessor with six cylinders, are also well represented.

The two four-door Aston Martin Lagonda models from 1979 and 1989 must be considered exotic, as well as the Zagato derivatives based on the Vantage, of which both a coupé and a convertible are on offer.

Racing cars and rare special models are also up for auction, so it's worth taking a look at the catalog.

More information on the vehicles on offer can be found on the Bonhams website.
