Auction Results: Bonhams’ 2013 Newport Pagnell sale

Bonhams has conducted an all-Aston Martin sale at Newport Pagnell since 1999, but none has achieved higher results than the one conducted over the weekend of May 18, 2013. In all, the auction earned $15.4M off of the sale of all 47 cars offered, and prices were generally strong across the board.

Bonhams set a new record for high price of an Aston Martin sold at public auction with the fantastic Bertone-bodied 1960 Aston Martin DB4 GT “Jet” coupe. This one-of-a-kind car had not been available since 1986, and it sold for $5.0M, including buyer’s premium. Other notable buys include a 1958 DB Mk III Saloon that sold for a strong $326,466, a remarkably original 1964 DB5 Saloon that traded for $488,557, and a handsome 1956 Lagonda 3-Litre Saloon that sold very well at $97,833.
