A 1967 Aston Martin DB6 topped the Historic at Brooklands sale on June 1, when it sold for a respectable £ 123,200. Total combined sales for the whole day reached £ 1.58million. The sale topping Aston Martin was a tidy, two-owner car which the vendor claimed had only covered 130 miles over the last ten years. Despite that relative lack of use, the engine is said to run well with a strong oil pressure and if the new owner has a vintage music collection, he could always make use of the original 8-Track stereo which was still fitted to the car. As expected, the British cars performed well at the sale with Jaguars proving especially popular with bidders. Notable‘ big cat’ sales included a 1959 XK150S coupé which went for £ 48,160, a 1974 E-type Roadster Series 3 fetching £ 44,800 and a 1966 Series 1 E-Type which sold at £ 112,000.
