A US radio broadcaster Jerry Lee who bought an Aston Martin DB5 for $12,000 back in the day, now intends to sell the car, once driven by the famous James Bond in movies like Goldfinger (1964) and Thunderball (1965), through the RM Auctions group. And he is expecting to fetch a minimum of £3.5 million. The auction is slated for October 27, 2010. Jerry will use the proceeds of this auction for the Jerry Lee foundation which is an initiative dedicated to solving poverty related concerns. Though a 1964 model, the DB5 is still a great attraction as it features a bullet-proof windscreen, machine guns, revolving number plates, a passenger ejector seat and even an oil sprayer.

A 1925 original Bugatti Brescia Type 22 Roadster, which was submerged in a lake for over 70 years, is most likely to fetch at least around €70,000 when as soon as it hits the auction block later this month. The Bugatti was submerged in Switzerland’s Lake Maggiore since the year 1936 following an argument between the owner of the cars and a government official.

The auction proceeds will benefit the Fondazione Damiano Tamagni charity, which works on reducing violent crimes amongst juveniles. The last owner of the car was Marco Schmuklerski, an architect who’s buildings very famous around the country. Experts estimate suggest the real true value of the car could top around €90,000. The vehicle can very potentially be restored, or could be easily be used as a display piece.

The car’s identity was tracked through its engine number and chassis number, 879, 2461 respectively, and gearbox number, 964.

It consists of a Chausson radiator, Zenith carburetor, and a twin ignition from SEV.

If you like old cars and are always looking for new deals then I have one that you probably missed. It’s about the oldest – still working – Rolls Royce that sold at auction in London at Bonhams’ Collectible Cars and Automobilia for a record amount of money 3,521,500 pounds or $7,275,000.

The two-seats open top old Rolls Royce that sports 10hp, is 103 years old (produced in 1904) and was maintained by Oliver Langton the same person that found it with his brother in a farm building at Seacroft near Leeds in 1950. I think he is the person that the new owner should thank for the glowing red leather and brass interior. The car was only shared by three people since 1905, so this and the fact that it still works was a good reason to sell that high.

I am not sure if I would pay $727,500 for each of those ten horses because I am sure I wouldn’t be able to go out in it while it rains, but man this would be really good to get some chicks if the weather is fine.
