The 1962 Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato & Mercedes Benz 300 SL Sportabteilung

The 1962 Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato sold for $14,300,000 at the RM Sotheby’s New York Driven by Disruption sale 2015. It set a new marque record and is the most-expensive British-made car ever.

The 1955 Mercedes Benz 300 SL Gullwing in the back ground was an official Mercedes Benz works (Sportabteilung) racing car. A highest bid of $4.2 million was insufficient to buy the car.
