The Blenheim 4 one-off was the last of the line. Although it doesn't appear on the pre-owned section of the BCL website it is for sale in the showroom at the moment. I think the guide is £180k. I know it cost considerably more than that to build (almost double) and would be a fantastic buy for someone. When Aston Martin did a one off like that the customer was expected to pay the full economic cost. There is a lovely V8 (Virage type) with a glass panel in the roof that someone parted with over 500k for. The B4 is a bargain.
There was a piece on Points West last night on BBR with lots of Le Mans footage interspersed, not on iplayer but there is a BBC article here
