Aston Martin collection auctioned
Aston Martin car fans can bid for nine hardly-used, hand-built commemorative V8 models at an auction next month.

Commissioned to celebrate the 21st anniversary of V8 production in 1990, the cars will be sold at Aston Martin's Newport Pagnell building in Bucks.

The vehicles being sold include a Vantage Volante built to a special Prince of Wales specification.

The collection - which has had two owners - is being offered "as new" at the Bonham's auction on 4 June.

Director of Bonhams' UK motoring department James Knight said: "I've been tracking this exceptional group of cars since they were manufactured, and now I'm delighted that we've been appointed to offer them for sale."
