One of the main reasons to visit London last week was the exceptional auction hosted by RM. Their centerpiece included a pair of Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR road cars that sold for about a million USD each. Dirk de Jager was there to capture them for this week’s feature gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Big Mercs were joined by a 1954 SL 300<\/a> that was outfitted to modern standards by AMG. Only a handful of cars outside of Brunei have been sold and each cost one million euros to make. Selling for $750,000 USD, it has to be one of the most valuable resto-mod projects.<\/p>\n

RM was also proud to offer probably the best Aston Martin DB2 extant<\/a>. This particular car was used by the factory at all the major races and by David Brown in the off-season. Called a ‘Team Car’, it sold for \u00a3550.000 or around $900,000 USD.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
