A different kind of lot will soon be available for auction which will be taking place at Ascot Racecourse this weekend.
On Saturday, September 14 an Aston Martin previously owned by Jamiroquai frontman Jay Kay, will be up for bidders to purchase which has an estimate of £400k.
This fabulous and extremely rare example is allegedly one of only two right hand drive examples produced in Litchfield Black with black leather interior and walnut trim inlays.
The specification includes air conditioning, electric windows, an analogue dashboard clock, heated rear screen and a lockable glove box.
It is accompanied by a service booklet, handbook, a good history documenting maintenance and images of the car whilst in Jay Kay’s ownership.
Production numbers vary here and there, but the listing claims that only 95 examples were produced, with this particular car being just one of two finished in Litchfield Black Metallic.
The X-Packs were offered with an automatic gearbox, what with it being a massive grand tourer at heart, but this model comes with a manual gearbox.
This is one of the greats of British motoring and certainly one of the greatest Aston Martins ever built – rare as hens teeth, brutish good looks and performance to match.
This particular example has a great pedigree of ownership, having been in the ownership of one of most prolific private collectors in the UK and this would definitely grace any avid Aston Martin collectors garage or indeed be driven in anger by any who dare! Consigned by James Good.
