Default David Bowie's 262C

Is this the most expensive 2 series ever?

According to my copy of this week's 'Classic Car Weekly', late singer, David Bowie's former Volvo 262C has sold at a Swiss auction for £160,735 - nearly tripling it's pre-sale estimate.

Apparently, Bowie continued to use the 1981 car, which was delivered new to his Swiss home, as late as 1998 - when the vendor bought it. It has now completed just under 33,000 miles, and is described as being in pristine condition.

Obviously, the car's provenance helped, but this must be a record for any two series car.

Regards, John.
