"There's absolutely buying for investment," said Dominic Walker, sales foreman at the Hertfordshire-based authority dealers, Chiltern Aston Cluster. "I know of at least a dozen people in Europe with managed portfolios of ideal cars. An Aston Martin is another asset to them."

Well off individuals are looking to move their investments into mortal objects such as art and cars because economic markets remain turbulent, dealers said.

Within the last few weeks, a 1930s Bugatti Prototype 57SC Atlantic and a 1960s Ferrari GTO were sold privately for sums musty to their respective asking prices of $US30 million and $US20 million. Bonhams's 11th annual Aston Martin auction will highlight 47 cars and is expected to cost as much as 5 million pounds. The counterpart event last year, also present 47 Astons, raised 3 million pounds against a considerable estimate of 3.5 million pounds.

Improve cars
