1950 Aston Martin DB2 Brings $910,745 at Battersea Auction

Aston Martin DB2

There’s no question that Canada’s RM Auctions has moved to the high end of the collector car business with successful sales in Maranello and London, and with a planned event for Monaco next May. On October 28 RM visited London’s Battersea Evolution, selling 69 of 84 cars for a total of $18.2 million. Topping the sales charts at $1,020,034 was a rare 2006 Mercedes CLK GTR Roadster, one of just five built and the only one with right-hand drive. For those of us whose taste runs to the classics, the winner was this superb 1950 Aston Martin team car. It sold for a DB2 world record of $910,745. Somehow I can’t imagine it racing at the Goodwood Revival but you never know what will appear on the historic track, no matter how rare or expensive.
