An Aston Martin Valkyrie Coupé with just 160 miles from new will star at RM Sotheby’s London sale on 31 October. Estimated at £1.8 million–£2.4 million, the car will cross the block at the company’s flagship UK auction at The Peninsula London.

Only 150 coupé examples of Aston Martin’s ultimate road-legal hypercar were built. Exquisitely finished in Zenith White with blue-tinted exposed carbon fibre and Midnight Blue exterior accents, it has a Blue and Dark Knight Alcantara interior. Single-owned from new, it has an extraordinary bespoke specification that added almost £235,000 to its original list price.

Chassis number 70098 was specified through Aston Martin’s Ultimate Personalisation programme, with Q by Aston Martin responsible for numerous bespoke details. Among them are a gloss-lacquered carbon fibre engine plenum, satin-finish headlamp scoops, Zircotec Black exhaust components, and £40,000 Matte Black Magnesium Performance wheels.

The Adrian Newey-designed hypercar is powered by a 1,160 brake horsepower 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V-12, paired with a Rimac-developed KERS system, and features distinctive gullwing doors. Last year’s London sale saw a Valkyrie Coupé in the unique Anemos configuration sell for £2,226,875. If this car reaches its upper estimate, it will become the most expensive Valkyrie sold publicly. The current record is held by a 2023 model sold at RM Sotheby’s Dubai sale in 2024 for £2,320,053.

“Truly exceptional, pristine, highly specified examples are the ones to seek out. There is something wonderfully special about a car that combines the sophistication of a road car with the soul of a racing machine—a track car with numberplates, genuine competition heritage and an extraordinary pedigree. And that pedigree is very much alive today, with Valkyries currently competing in the World Endurance Championship,” said Sholto Gilbertson, Director of Sales, UK, at RM Sotheby’s.

Other highlights of the sale include a 1988 Ferrari F40, one of the first 50 cars produced, with the sought-after non-cat, non-adjust specification and sliding Perspex windows. Also offered are two remarkable London to Brighton Run-eligible veterans: a 1903 Clément AC4R 12/16 HP Rear-Entrance Tonneau and a 1901 Milwaukee 7 HP Steam Racer.
