Incredible collection of Aston Martin racecars in range of bright colours go up for auction with £350,000 price tag

AN incredible collection of Aston Martin racecars in a variety of eye-catching colours are due to go under the hammer with a price tag of £350,000.

The V8 Racing Collection is a series of seven 2010 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupés celebrating Aston Martins racing heritage.

Bonhams Cars say the eye-catching motors were commissioned from Aston Martin by an unnamed VIP customer.

Each V8 Vantage is liveried in one of the team's iconic colours and boasts less than 500km on the clock.

Notable amongst the collection is a V8 Vantage in the bright green livery known as 'Kermit'; the name affectionately given to Aston Martin's Nürburgring 24h race car.

Another highlight is the 'Gulf Oil' colours model, the orange and pale blue livery which has graced some of the most well-known racing machines worldwide.

Aston Martin raced with the Gulf livery with both prototype and GT racing cars, with memorable wins at Le Mans in 2008 with the DBR9 (GT1 category) and 2014 with the V8 Vantage GTE (GTE Am Category).

Bonhams Cars say that after being kept on static display as part of the extensive private collection, these Vantages have each been recommissioned recently by the Stratton Motor Company.

The collection is presented on the heels of The Orange Collection, eight Aston Martins from the same era in a bespoke tangerine orange with matching orange interior, that were offered in the Bonhams Cars Zoute Sale in October.

After sparking international attention, the enthusiasm continued on auction day and all eight cars reached impressive results. The entire collection sold for £642k.

The V8 Racing Collection includes: 2010 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupé in 'Gulf' livery, estimated at £35,000 - 50,000.

2010 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupé in 'Kermit' livery, estimated at £35,000 - 50,000.

2010 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupé in 'Elwood Blue' livery, estimated at £35,000 - 50,000.

2010 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupé in 'Aston Martin Racing Green' livery, estimated at £35,000 - 50,000.

2010 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupé in 'Asia Pacific Cup White' livery, estimated at £35,000 - 50,000.

2010 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupé in 'Rose' livery, estimated at £35,000 - 50,000.

2010 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupé in 'Jet Black' livery, estimated at £35,000 - 50,000.

The V8 Racing Collection will be auctioned at The Bond Street Sale in London on December 15.

Earlier this year, an Aston Martin V8 Volante which looks just like James Bond’s iconic motor went up for auction with a huge price tag.

Similarly, an Aston Martin supercar once owned by Sir Elton John also went up for auction earlier this year.

An Aston Martin that was found rusting in a garage after 54 years is now tipped to sell for a huge sum.

It comes after the host of Wheeler Dealers revealed the "worst mistake" you can make when you buy a classic car.

Meanwhile, the 52-car collection owned by boxing legend George Foreman has gone up for auction.
