There is money in antiquities. Just check out this old Rolls-Royce that sold last week for a record £3,521,500 ($7,275,000). The 1904 Royce now claims the record for the highest price paid for an auction for a Rolls Royce and a veteran car. The previous records were held by a 1884 De Dion Bouton for a veteran car (£1.76M), and a 1912 Silver Ghost Double Pullman Limousine (£1.48M) for a Rolls-Royce

The proud new owner’s a private British collector edging out other telephone bidders who drove the price up to twice the initial estimate.

The car’s really an antique, sporting two seats and a whopping 10 hp.
