The odds are you're still wealthy now if you were friends with David Brown and able to buy an Aston Martin, even at cost, at some point in your life. Nevertheless, hearing that a car you've lost track of is now selling for $1.5 to $2.0 million must be slight cunt punt.
The car was first purchased for $15,000 by Richard Cowell, an oil heir and member of the U.S. water skiing team who was friends with David Brown, then-owner of Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd.

It is expected to sell for between $1.5 million and $2 million.

Kurt Ernst takes another look at at a great American race car driver.
Race car drivers in the United States rarely enjoy the same name recognition as other professional athletes. While most Americans know the names Derek Jeter or Tony Romo, there?s far less familiarity with names like Ryan Hunter-Reay or Brad Keselowski. The biggest exception to this rule is a man whose name has become permanently associated with both racing and speed in American culture: Mario Andretti.
