Another Aston Martin,

up for auction,


but this DB5 comes with a bit of Beatles history as it was once ordered and owned by as he was then Paul McCartney, he ordered the dark blue sports car in 1964 on the eve of the bands world tour and had it fitted with a black leather interior, Motorola radio and its very own record player, Peter Wallman, who will be co-running the bidding for RM Auctions, said the fame of both the car and the owner made it a particularly special item, Mr Wallman said: 'the Aston Martin DB5 is one of the most iconic cars in the world, driven by James Bond, and we’re talking about one of the most iconic super groups of the 1960s, We’ve sold a couple of cars owned by Steve McQueen which have sold for eight, nine, 10 times what they would be worth if they were just regular cars',


so if you are interested in the DB5 or want to look at any of the other cars in the RM Auction in Battersea Park, London here is the catalog, by the way bring a cheque book or a suitcase full of cash, some of the other cars up for grabs include a 1998 Ferrari F300 Formula One racing car used by Michael Schumacher and Eddie Irvine, not to mention a 955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Alloy Gullwing, one of only 29 ever produced, it is expected to fetch between £2.7million and £3million, and the DB5? more than £300,000 is expected.
