Martin, Aston Martin: An unrestored car from the James Bond movie Goldfinger sold at a $6.8 million auction along other James Bond cars from the 1950s and ‘60s. The DB4 model sold for a cool $121,564 while the auction’s top lot, a DB2 Team car, was snatched up at $741,431 despite having crashed once on the way to the 1950 Le Mans, the world's oldest sports car race in endurance racing. Total auction numbers beat out a low estimate of $6.2 million, although nine of the 45 cars did not sell. According to dealers, the economy isn’t stopping buyers looking to swap their investments for physical objects such as art and cars.
