An Aston Martin road car has fetched a record price at auction in Buckinghamshire - where it was made in 1960.

The DB4GT Coupe sold for £3,249,500 in the Bonham's auction at Aston Martin Works in Newport Pagnell.

This is a unique Aston. Only one was built with the special coachwork.

Oh yes. "Buyer's premium" of at least 10% for the auction house. Not exactly Ebay is it?
