An Aston Martin DB4 set an auction record of $4.85 million for the “James Bond” maker in a weekend sale as even wrecks found in barns sold for above-estimate prices.
A 1964 DB5 discovered after three decades in an old garage with a mouse nest in its engine bay sold for 320,700 pounds ($486,469) in the U.K. event by Bonhams. A grime-encrusted 1966 DB6 Vantage Sports Saloon Project, also untouched for 30 years, fetched 107,900 pounds.
