RM Sotheby’s will offer a 2022 Aston Martin Valkyrie with just 553 miles on the odometer at Driven by Design: Cars in Abu Dhabi on 9 December 2026, as part of Sotheby’s Collectors’ Week, an incredible two-day cross-category series of auction encompassing, fine art, watches, jewellery, watches, handbags and bicycles alongside a stunning selection of cars.

The Aston Martin Valkyrie (Estimated at $2,800,000 to $3,200,000) will prove to be a star attraction and will join a curated selection of exceptional automobiles from the world’s most exclusive manufacturers.

Numbered 139 of just 150 Valkyrie Coupés produced, this example is finished in fitting British Racing Green. It left the Gaydon factory equipped with a host of optional extras, including a roof and engine cover finished in gloss carbon fibre, black magnesium performance wheels with Silver Argento centres, black brake callipers, and black lower body panels and aerodynamic scoops.

The cockpit combines exposed carbon fibre with Alcantara, its pared-back design placing the emphasis firmly on the connection between car and driver. A communications system with two sets of headphones is also included, allowing driver and passenger to converse above the howl of the Cosworth-developed V-12.

The Valkyrie was reportedly sold to Mexico as a nearly new car in August 2022, when its odometer recorded just 97 miles. It was subsequently held by an automotive dealer in Florida before returning to Mexico in 2024. It has since formed part of an important private collection and is believed to be one of just four Valkyries in the country.

The sale forms part of Sotheby’s second Collectors’ Week in Abu Dhabi, which is once again set against the stunning backdrop of Saadiyat Grove Experience Center, Saadiyat Island. Following the inaugural event in 2025, Collectors’ Week returns in 2026, bringing together art, design, fine jewellery, watches, real estate and automobiles in a celebration of rarity, beauty and exclusivity. The event represents an innovative cross-category initiative from Sotheby’s and its automotive specialist, RM Sotheby’s.
