1970 Aston Martin DB6 Mk2 Vantage Sports Saloon also sold for above its top estimate, making
£258,750.
The automobilia sale preceding the motor car auction also generated much interest, with the star lots
including a Porsche 917 junior child’s car, which raced past its top estimate to make £24,000, and an
ex-Ayrton Senna steering-wheel which doubled its pre-sale estimate, selling for £10,200.
Sholto Gilbertson, Director, Bonhams Motor Cars UK who took the sale, said: “It was great to be back
with a live sale at the Festival of Speed and a pleasure to be at the rostrum in front of an enthusiastic
audience.
"We would like to thank the Duke of Richmond and the entire Goodwood team for their support.”
The Bonhams UK motor car team will return to West Sussex later in the year for the Goodwood Revival
Sale on 14 September.
