Think of it as the Aston equivalent to RM&#8217;s event at Maranello every year. It&#8217;s been held for the past 11 years running, and this year&#8217;s was the most successful yet with &pound;4.7 million ($6.8M USD) in sales.<\/p>\n<p>Among the lots that rolled across the auction block were a 1950 DB2 raced by Sir Stirling Moss (&pound;513,000\/$740k) and a mint-condition &#8217;68 DB6 that went for &pound;124,700 ($180k). The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/05\/14\/aston-martin-from-goldfinger-reportedly-found-in-uk-barn\/\"><em>Goldfinger<\/em> DB4<\/a> sold for a more modest &pound;84,000 ($121k) &#8211; but even that doubled it&#8217;s low &pound;40-50k pre-sale expectations, capping a day of sales far exceeding their estimated values.
