1985 Buckingham has running costs of ´£632 per mile´
Author: MotorTorque Team
Published: 25 September 2007
Commissioned in 1985 and slvaed over by eight Aston martin craftsmen, this vulgar monstrosity – known as the Buckingham – took five years to build and cost £250,000 to build.
The 1985 Buckingham is being offered for sale in BCA’s next Classic & Historic and has covered just 348 miles in the past 22 years.
Its value is now estimated around £30,000 – meaning it has cost £632 per mile in depreciation alone. BCA’s Robin Lawton commented “The good news for potential buyers is that the bulk of depreciation has now taken place and there’s every chance this luxurious and unique car will hold its value a little better in years to come.”
The four-door saloon was based on modern technology, but incorporated classical coachwork. The Buckingham features gullwing rear doors and is powered by a Jaguar 5.3-litre V12 engine through four-speed autobox.
