Legendary Aston Martin could become most expensive British car to sell on home soil

A 1961 Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato described as 'the most important in history' is set to go under the hammer at a Bonhams auction this summer. Raced by Formula 1 legend Jim Clark, it could become the most expensive British car to ever sell at auction – with an estimated price of over £10m pushing it far beyond the previous record holder, a 'Blower' Bentley which made £5.4m in June 2012.

This example is one of just 19 coachbuilt by Italian design house Zagato. The rarity factor keeps increasing, though, as it's just one of three configured in the ultra-light DP209 specification.
