It seems that His Royal Highness the Duke of York is in hot water, again. According to the British newspaper, Telegraph, the second son of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is being criticized for taking a luxurious private jet to Mumbai, India to visit some of the nation’s poorest areas. The cost “…of his travel[s] around the country has been estimated at £80,000.”
It seems that His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales’s 1994 Virage Volente Aston Martin is about to be auctioned on May 19, 2012 via Bonhams UK. The car, with a 6.3 liter engine and only 33,960 miles on it, has a “… pre-auction estimated value of $81,000 – $110,00…”
Now, the car is okay looking, but I would not buy a ’90s Aston Martin. In my opinion, a 1965 Aston Martin DB5 Vantage convertible is the way to go. 🙂
