Behold: the Aston Martin X Brough AMB 001 – a collaboration between Aston Martin and motorcycle manufacturer Brough Superior.

The carbon fibre and aluminium track machine, recently tested at the Pau-Arnos circuit in France, has wide aggressive stance with a cantilevered front fork and a turbocharged intercooled 180bhp V-twin motor.

Only 100 will be made and yours will be ready for collection this Autumn. Bring €106,600.

Behold: the 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB/C – one of 275 GTBs to have survived since they were first released in 1964, at least two of which are among the ten most expensive cars ever sold.

This vehicle however is one of only ten GTB/C variants produced in 1965. Three – including this one – were right hand drive. Still equipped with its original (Ferrari Classiche Department verified) frame, body, V12 engine and gearbox, it was purchased new by Irish motorsports mogul, Paddy McNally, before passing to European Formula 5000 winner and three-time British Saloon Car Champion, Frank Gardner.

Yours, with just under 134,000km on the clock, for an undisclosed but almost certainly vast sum of money.

Behold: the Donkervoort D8 GTO JD-70, a carbon fibre roadster taking its design cues from the Lotus Seven.

Powered by a 415bhp Audi inline five, the JD-70 will accelerate to 100km/h in 2.7 seconds and on to a top speed of 280km/h, pulling an F1-bothering 2g in the corners.

Only 70 will be made (celebrating the 70th birthday of the company’s founder, Joop Donkervoort) and yours (prior to your bespoke spec order) will start at €165,400.

Behold: the Royal Enfield Bullet 500 – or rather, a highly customised version of same by Italian fabricators GDesign.

Stretched, reinforced and tricked out with mag wheels and knobbly tyres, the iconic 1930s bike (still in production today) has been exquisitely decorated with custom-etched velocity stacks, a bespoke tank, upgraded instrumentation and a host of brass plates, badges and panels.

A work of custom art in black and gold, but only for looking at.
