Aston Martin Vanquish Zagatos for sale on Classic Driver 

Handcrafted in the Netherlands and powered by a 400HP Audi-sourced V8, the Spyker C8 Laviolette is an aeronautic-inspired supercar ideal for the enthusiast who’d prefer to tread his own path than follow the herd.

This particular example, one of the last built before production ceased in 2008 amid the company’s financial turmoil, is teeming with wonderful, intricate details such as the 19-inch propeller-like wheels, sumptuous diamond-quilted Tropicana Orange leather and beautiful knurled aluminium trim. 

Overfinched

Agreed, we all love our Porsche 911s and Jaguar E-types, but if you really want to stand out from the collector car crowd this summer, we suggest plumping for something less classic and more, um, curious. Currently, RM Sotheby’s is selling a hoard of European cars from the Petitjean Collection, online and entirely without reserve.

Online auctions are booming. In order to adapt to the extraordinary circumstances in which we all found ourselves as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, RM Sotheby’s seamlessly switched to an online platform for its collector car auctions, commencing with the Palm Beach sale back in March. Buoyed by its success, the Canadian company followed it up with the 193-car Driving into Summer sale at the end of May.
