Bonham's annual Aston Martin and Lagonda car auction was held over the weekend and the star of the sale was the one-of-a-kind Bertone-bodied DB4GT dubbed "The Jet," which sold for a world record price of £3,249,500 – the highest anyone has ever paid for an Aston Martin at auction. The car that sold was the last DB4GT to be built, with coachwork penned by a young Giorgetto Giugiaro, one of his first design commissions for Italian design house Bertone.

It debuted at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, and after passing through a select few collections, the previous owner restored it to concours condition, winning 12 awards as a result - including best in show at Villa d'Este. Several barn-finds were also sold at the auction, held for the 14th time at the old Aston Martin Works in Newport Pagnell, UK, including a 1964 DB5 that had been off the road for 30 years that sold for £320,700.
