Awesome photo's. So do tell, whats your old man in the market for 

[MC71]

^^^^ Some paintings of various classic cars (F1 and the like), some Classic F1 and Sports car memorabilia but mainly the Aston Martin DB6. He's had a DB2 GHC and a DB4, can't justify (or afford) a DB5 so a DB6 is the next best thing. Its the right colour (Silver Birch), interior (Black Leather), Manual, 4.2litre and "appears" to be in concourse condition.


EDIT:

If your interested, here's a copy of the auction brochure. Have a look at what the "well to do" do with their money....

That DB6 is lovely. What a lucky chap. Hope he gets it 

[MC71]

^^^^ I'll let you know. 

[MAT ED30]

That merc just sold for over 17 million 

[MC71]

^^^^ £19.6 Million with the buyers premium on top.  

My dad got his arse handed to him, "his" DB6 went for £147k inc the buyers premium. Everything (apart from John Lennons old Ferrari 330 GT) went for silly money, even the Lotus Cortina went for £183k.

[MAT ED30]

Yeah I noticed everything went for silly money

Safe investments in these strange banking times means it is a popular way of investing at the moment.
